(Dolly Parton)

Mammie delivered me into this world
Mammie watched my mama die at my birth
And Mammie she loved me she took me to raise
Mammie was all I had on this earth.

Let's get in the firewood I'd hear Mammie say
Let's go to the spring before it gets dark
And you do up the dishes while the water's still hot
And don't throw that dishwater out in the yard.

Oh Mammie taught me how to sing a song
She taught me to play her old guitar
And at night before bedtime we'd sing for hours
As the teakettle whistled along on the fire.

And at night as I laid alone in my bed
I'd hear Mammie praying and each night she said
Oh dear God help me raise her to know right from wrong
And I pray she'll do right even after I 'm gone.

I'd wait until Mammie had fallen asleep
Then out of my window I'd quietly sneak
And I'd wait by the mill pond according to plans
And there in the darkness I'd meet a man.

Oh it's not that I wanted to bring Mammie shame
I just couldn't control wild blood in my veins
They tell me my mama could not name my dad
So I guess it was natural for me to be bad.

One night I awoke at the sound of my name
Come quickly I heard mammie cry
She said you be good and I told her I would and
That night I watched as my Mammie died.

All I have now are the memories of Mammie
And the goodness that loving her brought me
Although she is gone in my heart she lives on
And I know how much good she taught me.

Ah mammie, I'm being good Mammie...


Mirror lyrics:

Ah mammie, I'm being good Mammie...

And I know how much good she taught me.
Although she is gone in my heart she lives on
And the goodness that loving her brought me
All I have now are the memories of Mammie

That night I watched as my Mammie died.
She said you be good and I told her I would and
Come quickly I heard mammie cry
One night I awoke at the sound of my name

So I guess it was natural for me to be bad.
They tell me my mama could not name my dad
I just couldn't control wild blood in my veins
Oh it's not that I wanted to bring Mammie shame

And there in the darkness I'd meet a man.
And I'd wait by the mill pond according to plans
Then out of my window I'd quietly sneak
I'd wait until Mammie had fallen asleep

And I pray she'll do right even after I 'm gone.
Oh dear God help me raise her to know right from wrong
I'd hear Mammie praying and each night she said
And at night as I laid alone in my bed

As the teakettle whistled along on the fire.
And at night before bedtime we'd sing for hours
She taught me to play her old guitar
Oh Mammie taught me how to sing a song

And don't throw that dishwater out in the yard.
And you do up the dishes while the water's still hot
Let's go to the spring before it gets dark
Let's get in the firewood I'd hear Mammie say

Mammie was all I had on this earth.
And Mammie she loved me she took me to raise
Mammie watched my mama die at my birth
Mammie delivered me into this world
