I know a place in New Orleans.
              A         C#m7      F#m
They call the Castle of Kings and Queens.

Where an old sweet black woman sings.
          A     C#m7   F#m
And plays piano like a dream.

She puts out all her beautiful heart and soul for you.

And it will get to you.

Sweet mamma blue.       Sweet Mamma Blue

One night I stayed past closing time.
"Sweet mamma blue my troubled mind."
She sang the night away for me.
She made me see what I couldn't see.
That only by loving life will all your dreams come true.
Sweet mamma blue.
Chorus
They say she's gone from misery.
But she still lives in my memory.
I still can see her smile and say
"I'll bet you make it all the way."
If you will try the Lord will surely see you through.
Sweet mamma blue,
    E               F#m
The world sure will miss you.
           Bm          Bm7      E
And when I feel blue I think of you.
            A  F#m  Bm  E           A
Sweet mamma blue.       Sweet mamma blue.
