Do You Really Love Your Mammy


Lyrics and Music by Richie Kavanagh

(Richie) “Heres a little song about all the mammy’s in all the world”.

Do you really love your mammy, do you love her every day.
Cause you’ll never miss your mammy, till your mammy’s gone away.
When the good lord up in heaven, calls her to the golden gate.
Its then you’ll miss your mammy, but its then t’will be to late.

When you were a little baby, she was o’ so fond of you.
She would feed you night and morning and wash your little bottom too.
When you had your little windies, she knew just what to do.
And your gums when you were teething, she watched them all grow through.

And when first you went to school, she was there to hold your hand.
When you made your confirmation, sure she had you looking grand.
All the times you were in trouble, beside you she would stand.
On your twenty first a birthday, it was her who payed the band.

Now your courting days are over and you never more will roam.
She was o’ so very happy, when you bought your little home.
Now your children call her Granny, but she’s still your Mammy too.
And no matter what life brings you, Mammy always will love you.

About the Song,…..Do you really love your mammy,

Do you really love your mammy, do you love her every day.
Cause you’ll never miss your mammy, till your mammy’s gone away.
