I may be your forgotten son (Oh, mamy)
Who wandered off at twenty-one (Oh, mamy)
It’s sad to find myself at home (Oh, mamy)
And you (Blue) you’re not around

If I could only hold your hand (Oh, mamy)
And say “I’m sorry, yes I am” (Oh, mamy)
I’m sure you really understand (Oh, mamy)
Oh ma, (Blue) where are you now?

(Oh, mamy)

(Oh, mamy) Oh, mamy
(Oh, mamy, mamy blue)
(Oh, mamy blue)

Her house we shared upon the hill (Oh, mamy)
Seems lifeless but is standing still (Oh, mamy)
And mem'ries of my childhood fill (Oh, mamy)
My mind (Blue), oh, mamy, mamy, mamy

I’ve been through all the walks of life (Oh, mamy)
Seen tired days and lonely nights (Oh, mamy)
And now without you by my side (Oh, mamy)
I’m lost (Blue), how will I survive?

Oh, mamy
Oh, mamy, mamy blue
Oh, mamy blue (Oh, mamy, mamy)

Oh, mamy (Oh, mamy)
Oh, mamy, mamy blue
Oh, mamy blue (Oh, mamy, mamy)

(Oh, mamy) Oh, mamy
(Oh, mamy, mamy blue)
(Oh, mamy blue) I need you, mamy, mamy

(Oh, mamy) Oh, mamy
(Oh, mamy, mamy blue) You never miss the water
(Oh, mamy blue) ‘Til your well run dry

(Oh, mamy) Oh, mamy
(Oh, mamy, mamy blue) I feel so I’ll always be
(Oh, mamy blue) Your grown up child

(Oh, mamy) Oh, mamy
(Oh, mamy, mamy blue) I need your shoulder
(Oh, mamy blue) To pray if I have tried

(Oh, mamy) Oh, mamy
(Oh, mamy, mamy blue) I need your warm embrace
(Oh, mamy blue) And your comforting smile

(Oh, mamy) Oh, mamy
(Oh, mamy, mamy blue) Before you can see
(Oh, mamy blue) Or hear my voice cry

(Oh, mamy) Oh, mamy
(Oh, mamy, mamy blue)
(Oh, mamy blue)
