Thomas, B.J. - Rock And Roll Lullaby Lyrics






She was just sixteen and all alone
When I came to be
So we grew up together
My mama child and me
Now things were bad and she was scared
But whenever I would cry
She'd calm my fears and dry my tears
With a rock and roll lullaby

And she'd sing sha na na na na na na na na
It'll be all right
Sha na na na na na na na na na
Just hold on tight
Sing it to me mama, mama mama mama
Sing it sweet and clear
Oh, mama let me hear that old rock and roll lullaby

Now, we made it through the lonely days
But Lord the nights were long
And we'd dream of better moments
When mama 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
In that rock and roll lullaby

And she'd sing sha na na na na na na na na
It'll be all right
Sha na na na na na na na na na
Just hold on tight
I can hear you mama, mama mama mama
Nothing moves my soul
Like the sound of a good old rock and roll lullaby

It'll be alright
Just hold on tight
Mama, mama, mama
Nothing moves my soul
Like the sound of a good old rock and roll lullaby
It'll be alright
Just hold on tight
Sing it sweet and clear

  68. t.... ....

    When I listened this song for the first time, I was going to junior high, my parents were very happy, they are gone now and I am leaving in the United States for 30 years.   I did not know English in that time and I did not know what would happen in my life.  My parents were great.  When I listen this song I remember my parents.  It was a great time of my life.  I know when I cross over they will be there for me.  I enjoy every day of my life.

  69. V.... G....

    Wonderful song! I love this song so much!

  70. E.... a....

    It is a very, very much good musical

  71. E.... M....

    First song our daughter danced to, before she could walk was a BJ Thomas tune. She'd get to a standing position by pulling herself up at the huge console. Believe me it was safe, could not tip over. Can't remember exactly which song it was, but I'd like to think it was this one. Funny too, though wasn't at the time, she became a Mom at sixteen. But my husband and I can still picture her first dance like it was yesterday. We egged her on because it was so funny to us to see her dance before she could walk.

  72. k.... D....

    Cara, que musica gostosa de ouvir.

  73. R.... S....

    I was a teenage single mom I raise my daughter alone and I would sing to her all the time, She's 37 now and still my life support.

  74. E.... x....

    So many memories attached to this song ❤️

  75. W.... ....

    Cool tune brought back to me by "slacker" radio..

  76. O.... B....

    I dreamed that in a nest of an eagle in the middle of a dark and stormy night she sang through long cries looking at her pup that was scared and was frightened scared in that darkness, the cry of this eagle echoed over the vast plain, the darkness gradually It was fading he looked at his Mother watched the Aurora and all that immensity of there was not esit, raised his first flight ... was the most incredible flight that hears in the life of this eagle the songs have surreal powers before, now and always, come from Wherever you come!

  77. M.... t....

    I love this song and it makes me cry everytime

  78. V.... D....

    I love it

    My brother and I used to share a room, and we had a tape with this song - and a whole bunch of other old rock and roll songs - on it. We used to listen to that tape, as well as a Johnny Horton tape, almost every night!

  92. S.... C....

    nice song.
    i like it.
    sweet song.

  93. e.... h....

    BY FAR HIS BEST,THINK OF MY MOM EVERY TIME I HEAR IT.ALSONEVER REALIZES THE BEACH BOYS PLAYED

  94. J.... T....

    it warmed up my heart, such a beautiful song. Love my mama

  95. P.... W....

    I remembered when i was a high school studant and all the girls to listen this song cryed of emotion, good times..

  96. a.... l....

    Everytime I hear this song I am brought to tears. Although my mother was not sixteen when I came to be. She had five children and one miscarriage by the time she was 21. By the time she was 23 she was all alone raising us children. We were dirt poor but did not know it. My mother went to beauty school and learned how to cut hair so that she could provide for us. All of the stress from working too hard and raising five children on her own took its toll on her mind and her body. Eventually her body began to break down but she always had our happiness in the front of her mind. She would always sing to us children even when things were terribly bad and made up games for us to keep us happy.

    My mother always believed in god and always made sure that god was part of our lives and so many times it was her faith alone that got us through. When she had nothing to give but love or just a kind word it was what she did. I thank god for her and wish that I could have told her so before she passed last month. But in sire she knows. So this song is an exact reminder of my childhood. I listen to it regularly and can not do so with out shedding some tears. I love you mom and dedicate this song to you...

    a.... l....
