Luyện nghe bài hát Mammie

Mammie delivered me this world
watched my mama die at my birth
And Mammie she loved me she me to raise
was all I had on this earth

Let's get in the firewood, I'd Mammie say
Let's go to the spring before it dark
And you do up the dishes while the still hot
And don't throw dishwater out in the yard

Oh Mammie taught me how to a song
She taught me to her old guitar
And at night before bedtime sing for hours
As the teakettle whistled on the fire

And at as I laid alone in my bed
I'd hear Mammie praying and each night she
Oh dear God help me raise her to know right wrong
And I pray she'll do right even I 'm gone.

I'd wait Mammie had fallen asleep
Then out of my window I'd quietly
And I'd by the mill pond according to plans
And there in the darkness I'd a man

Oh it's not that I to bring Mammie shame
I just couldn't control blood in my veins
They tell me my could not name my dad
So I it was natural for me to be bad

One night I awoke at the of my name
Come quickly, I Mammie cry
She said you be good and I her I would and
That night I as my Mammie died

All I have now are the of Mammie
And the goodness that loving her me
Although she is gone in my heart she on
And I know how much she taught me.

Ah Mammie, I'm being Mammie ...
