Her voice was the first I knew
She always liked popular tunes
You know she's from Kentucky too
My mother sings
Sounds like to me
Rosemary Clooney
Can't miss the start of the race
I wanna hear the song they play
I think of her on Derby Day
My mother sings
Sounds like to me
Rosemary Clooney
Smooth as silk
Rich and deep
With just a hint
Of Whiskey
Her voice was the first I knew
She really could play those St. Louis Blues
And you'd know if you heard her croon
My mother sings
Or could it be Rosemary sounds
Like my mother Sue
