(G)She was just sixteen and all alone, (C)when I came to 
be
(D)And we grew up to(D7)gether, (C)my Momma, child, and 
(G)me.
(G)Now things were bad and she was scared, (C)but 
whenever I would cry
(D)She'd calm my fears and (D7)drown my fears, with a 
(C)rock and roll lulla(G)bye.

(G)And she'd sing: "Sha na na na na na na na, it'll 
(C)be alright
(C)Sha na na na na na na na, now just (D)hold on 
(G)tight"
Sing it to me mama (my, my, my, my (C)momma)
Sing it sweet and clear, oh (D)mama let me hear that ol' 
(C)rock and roll lulla(G)bye.

(Instrumental)

Now we made it through the lonely days, but lord the 
nights were long
And we'd dream of better mornin's when momma sang her 
song.
Now I can't recall the words at all, it don't make sense 
to try
'Cause I just knew lots of love came through with that 
rock and roll lullabye.

(Twice)
And she'd sing: "Sha na na na na na na na, it'll be 
alright
Sha na na na na na na na, now just hold on tight"
I can hear you momma (my, my, my, my momma)
Nothin'; we'd both sing like that song of a good ol' 
rock and roll lullabye.
