Granny, you're my mammy's mammy
I owe a lot to you
Granny, you gave me my mammy
The grandest thing a granny can do
I'd rather hold the silver in your tresses
Then all the gold this great big world possesses
Granny, you're my mammy's mammy
I'm mighty proud of you
Granny, you're my mammy's mammy
I owe a lot to you
Granny, I remember how I used to sit on your knee
The grandest thing a granny can do
I'd rather hold the silver in your tresses
Then all the gold this great big world possesses
Granny, you're my mammy's mammy
I'm mighty proud of you
Mammy, Mammy, I'm wandering home
I'm tired and lonesome, tired of being alone
Mammy, Mammy, won't you comfort me?
Take me in your arms again, that's where I long to be
Carolina Mammy, I'm longing for you
Carolina Mammy, I'm lonesome and blue
I tell ya Mammy, I've found its true
That there's nobody in this wide wide world
Who can love me like you do
In that Dixie garden, I'm longing to be
Were I spent my childhood, right there on your knee
So prepare for my return, gee its great to live and learn
There's no one finer than my Carolina Mammy
Carolina Mammy, I'm longing for you
Carolina Mammy, I'm lonesome and blue
I tell ya Mammy, I've found its true
That there's nobody in this wide wide world
Who can love me like you do
In that Dixie garden, I'm longing to be
Were I spent my childhood, right there on your knee
So prepare for my return, gee its great to live and learn
There's no one finer than my Carolina Mammy
