Original lyrics

EN

I may be your forgotten son Who wandered off at twenty-one It's sad to find myself at home Without you If I could only hold your hand And say I'm sorry, yes I am I'm sure you'll really understand Oh Mammy Oh Mammy, oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue Oh Mammy, oh Mammy Mammy Blue Je suis parti un soir d'été Sans dire un mot sans t'embrasser Sans un regard sur le passé-é Dès que j'ai franchi la frontière Le vent soufflait plus fort qu'hier Quand j'étais près de toi ma mère-è-re Oh Mammy, oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue If I could only hold your hand And say I'm sorry, yes I am I'm sure you'll really understand Oh Mammy Oh Mammy, oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue Oh Mammy, oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue
