Lyrics
1. Do you miss me Mammy, down in Alabamy
Way down yonder in the cornfield
Swallows homeward flying
And my heart goes sighing
Just to be there, too
Mammy dear, with you
Refrain:
Alabamy Mammy, I miss you more each day
Since I have been away, Alabamy Mammy
I’m always blue, just for a sight of you
I see the fields of cotton so white
I see you in the Dixie moonlight
I know you’re thinking of me tonight
I feel so alone, so far from my home
Alabamy Mammy, sing me a lullaby
“Hush, honey doan’ you cry”
Heaven bless you, Mammy
Alabamy Mammy of mine
2. Darkies sweetly humming
Banjos softly strumming
Way down yonder in the cornfield
Make me think of Mammy
Down in Alabamy
Lonesome as can be
Waiting there for me
