Mammy

[Intro]
Ali-bali, ali-bali-bee
Sittin' on your mammy's knee

[Verse 1]
Every day's a Monday
Cryin' in my cornflakes
There's an empty chair where you once were
You used to fix my clothes and cut my hair
And I would sit on your knee
While you sang me Ali Bali
There's a quiet in the house now you’re not here
And Daddy doesn't know I hide his beer

[Pre-Chorus]
And I've been sittin' at the window
Waitin' for you to come home

[Chorus]
Your mammy doesn't live here anymore
She said she loves you, but her heart is on the floor
Oh, your mammy doesn't live here anymore
She said she loves you, but she's tired of slamming doors

[Verse 2]
Wipe away my wet eyes
I couldn't sleep till midnight
I got into another fight today
Trying to make the anger go away
February is colder
Without you to hold us
And Daddy's got a tear line on his cheek
He's listening to "Fast Car" on repeat

[Pre-Chorus]
And I've been sittin' at the window
Waitin' for you to come home

[Chorus]
Your mammy doesn't live here anymore
She said she loves you, but her heart is on the floor
Oh, your mammy doesn't live here anymore
She said she loves you, but she's tired of slamming doors

[Outro]
And for all the times you've held me, I want more
And for all the times you've held me, I want more
