Mammy

[Intro]

Ali-bali, ali-bali-bee

Sittin' on your mammy's knee

[Verse 1]

Every day's a Monday

Cryin' in my cornflakes

There's an empty chair where you once were

You used to fix my clothes and cut my hair

And I would sit on your knee

While you sang me Ali Bali

There's a quiet in the house now you’re not here

And Daddy doesn't know I hide his beer

[Pre-Chorus]

And I've been sittin' at the window

Waitin' for you to come home

[Chorus]

Your mammy doesn't live here anymore

She said she loves you, but her heart is on the floor

Oh, your mammy doesn't live herе anymore

She said she lovеs you, but she's tired of slamming doors

[Verse 2]

Wipe away my wet eyes

I couldn't sleep till midnight

I got into another fight today

Trying to make the anger go away

February is colder

Without you to hold us

And Daddy's got a tear line on his cheek

He's listening to "Fast Car" on repeat

[Pre-Chorus]

And I've been sittin' at the window

Waitin' for you to come home

[Chorus]

Your mammy doesn't live here anymore

She said she loves you, but her heart is on the floor

Oh, your mammy doesn't live here anymore

She said she loves you, but she's tired of slamming doors

[Outro]

And for all the times you've held me, I want more

And for all the times you've held me, I want more
