They call the Castle of Kings and Queens.

Where an old sweet black woman sings.

And plays piano like a dream.

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. "Sweet mamma blue my troubled mind." She sang the night away for me. She made me see what I couldn't see. That only by loving life will all your dreams come true. Sweet mamma blue. Chorus They say she's gone from misery. But she still lives in my memory. I still can see her smile and say "I'll bet you make it all the way." If you will try the Lord will surely see you through. Sweet mamma blue,

    E               F#m
The world sure will miss you. 

           Bm          Bm7      E 
And when I feel blue I think of you. 

            A  F#m  Bm  E           A
Sweet mamma blue.       Sweet mamma blue.
