《Mammie》歌词

[00:00:00] Mammie - Dolly Parton

[00:00:01] Mammie delivered me into this world

[00:00:08] Mammie watched my mama die at my birth

[00:00:15] And Mammie she loved me

[00:00:18] She took me to raise

[00:00:21] Mammie was all I had on this earth

[00:00:31] Let's get in the firewood

[00:00:33] I'd hear Mammie say

[00:00:35] Let's go to the spring before it gets dark

[00:00:42] And you do up the dishes

[00:00:44] While the water's still hot

[00:00:46] And don't throw

[00:00:48] That dishwater out in the yard

[00:00:51] Oh Mammie taught me

[00:00:55] How to sing a song

[00:00:58] She taught me to play her old guitar

[00:01:01] And at night before bedtime

[00:01:04] We'd sing for hours

[00:01:06] As the teakettle whistled along on the fire

[00:01:12] And at night as

[00:01:14] I laid alone in my bed

[00:01:17] I'd hear Mammie praying

[00:01:19] And each night she said

[00:01:24] Oh dear God help me raise

[00:01:26] Her to know right from wrong

[00:01:28] And I pray

[00:01:29] She'll do right even after I 'm gone

[00:01:37] I'd wait until Mammie had fallen asleep

[00:01:41] Then out of my window

[00:01:43] I'd quietly sneak

[00:01:48] And I'd wait

[00:01:49] By the mill pond according to plans

[00:01:52] And there in the darkness

[00:01:54] I'd meet a man

[00:01:59] Oh it's not

[00:02:00] That I wanted to bring Mammie shame

[00:02:03] I just couldn't control wild blood in my veins

[00:02:10] They tell me my mama

[00:02:12] Could not name my dad

[00:02:14] So I guess it was natural for me to be bad

[00:02:21] One night I awoke at the sound of my name

[00:02:25] Come quickly

[00:02:27] I heard Mammie cry

[00:02:29] She said you be good

[00:02:31] And I told her I would and

[00:02:34] That night I watched as my Mammie died

[00:02:41] All I have now are the memories of Mammie

[00:02:45] And the goodness that loving her brought me

[00:02:48] Although she is gone in my heart she lives on

[00:02:53] And I know how much good she taught me

[00:02:57] Ah Mammie I'm being good Mammie
