Rock N Roll Lullaby Lyrics - Nylons

Rock 'n' roll lullaby 

Rock 'n' roll lullaby 

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 'n' roll lullaby 

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, oh, my mama dear, oh yeah 

Sing it sweet and clear 

Oh, mama let me hear that 

Rock 'n' 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 'n' 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 

Oh, my mama, it's gonna be alright 

Nothing soothes my soul like the sound of a good old 

Rock 'n' roll lullaby 

Sing it sweet and clear 

Oh, will it be the rock 'n' roll lullaby?
