Rock and Roll Lullaby

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 would sing sha na na na na na na na...
It will be all right
Sha na na na na na na na ...
Now just hold on tight

Sing it to me mama (mama mama ma)
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 wed 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 thru
In that rock and roll lullaby

And she'd sing sha na na na na na na na
It will be all right
Sha na na na na na na na
Now just hold on tight

I can't hear you mama (mama mama ma)
Nothing moves my soul
Like the sound of the good old rock and roll lullaby...

@kygal1960 What a beautiful story! Bless you! I think of my sister when my niece was born.

[crystallady53]

I meant to say I got to meet all of the band members..oops my bad (spelling)

[crystallady53]

I met BJ Thomas alittle over 10 yr ago in Bristol Tn. he did a show at the theater up there, and i got met all of the band, checked out the tour bus, and they were all so cool and laid back.

@MrAlBurgin It's been said for years and thought by many that the Beach Boys were on this recording and even though I'd swear they were too, I have the original vinyl and there is not (1) mention of the, or any of the, Beach Boys as a part of this song. The Blossoms...Dave Somerville (formerly of the Diamonds) and Duane Eddy on that 'twnagy' guitar......

@rustygpate NOPE

[kygal1960]

My mother was 16 when I was born and I was 12 when B.J. Thomas released this song in 1972. Mom had been diagnosed with a mental illness, and I was taken from her. I think of her when I hear this song.

this song is like a really good burger dipped in your least favorite condiment and not just dipped i mean fully dipped 

[signsell1]

@songbuff61 You are completely right, I confirmed it in an interview with Duane on my radio show, also Dave Somerville from the Diamonds is singign back up on this song as well.

[MrSocorrogoncalves]

I love it, goods memories

[songbuff61]

There seems to be good indications that a "Beach Boys" type back up was done with similar voicing , but that the Blossoms were used with Duane Eddy on guitar. I looked it up elsewhere and Wiki-eed also.
