Sweet Mama Blue
Roy Orbison
I know a place in New Orleans
They call "The Castle of Kings and Queens"
Where an old sweet black woman sings
And plays piano like a dream
She puts out all her beautiful heart and soul for you
Sweet mama blue
Sweet mama blue will only sing about the truth
And it will get to you
Sweet mama blue will sing of love as only she can do
Sweet mama blue
Sweet mama Blue
One night I stayed past closing time
"Sweet mama blue my troubled mind"
She sang the night away for me
She made me see what I couldn't see
That only by loving life will all your dreams come true
Sweet mama blue
Sweet mama blue will only sing about the truth
And it will get to you
Sweet mama blue will sing of love as only she can do
Sweet mama blue
Sweet mama blue
They say she's gone from misery
But she still lives in my memory
I still can see her smile and say
"I'll bet you make it all the way"
If you will try the Lord will surely see you through
Sweet mama blue
The world sure will miss you
And when I feel blue I think of you
Sweet mama blue
