Luyện nghe bài hát Mammie

Mammie delivered me into world
Mammie watched my die at my birth
And Mammie she me she took me to raise
Mammie was all I had on 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 water's hot
And don't throw dishwater out in the yard

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ah Mammie, I'm being good ...
