I know a place in New Orleans.
They call the Castle of Kings and Queens.
Where an old sweet black woman sings.
And plays piano like a dream.
She puts out all her beautiful heart and soul for you.
Sweet mamma blue.
Sweet mamma blue will only sing about the truth.
And it will get to you.
Sweet mamma blue will sing of love as only she can do.
Sweet mamma blue. Sweet Mamma Blue
One night I stayed past closing time.
The world sure will miss you.
And when I feel blue I think of you.
Sweet mamma blue. Sweet mamma blue.
