The Nylons - Rock & Roll Lullaby lyrics

Well she was just sixteen an hour ago When I first came to be So we grew up together My mama child and me Well the times were bad and she'd get scared Whenever I would cry She'd calm my fears and dry my tears With a rock and roll lullaby And she'd sing sha la la la la la la la la la It's gonna be alright She'd be singing like that Sha la la la la la You'd better hold on tight Sing it to me mama It's gonna be alright Sing it sweet and clear Oh mama let me hear that Rock and roll lullaby Well we made it through the lonely days But Lord the nights were long We dreamed of brighter moments When mama sang her song But I can't recall the words at all It don't make sense to try But all I knew is lots of love came through With that rock and roll lullaby And she'd sing sha la la la la la la la la la It's gonna be alright it's gonna be alright now Sha la la la la la la la la la You'd better hold on tight I can hear you mama Sha la la la la la la la la la It's gonna be alright Nothing soothes my soul like the sound of a good old Rock and roll lullaby
