Listen to Ma Lyrics by Hociel Thomas

Louis Armstrong and the Blues Singers: 1924-1930

1926

[Cornet 4-bar intro: Louis Armstrong]
[Verse]
There is nothing that I like better
Than to read my mammy’s letter
Askin’ me if I’m in need of her
I grow lonely day by day
For my mother in every way
It seems like I hear her calling me
Really I cannot forget
Because her teachings is with me yet
[Chorus]
Listen to ma
I mean your sweet, sweet mother
Listen to ma
After her there’s no other
She won’t tell you nothin’ wrong
You’re always welcome in her home
Shе has good rules
I mean, they surе are good rules
Just like the school
I know you know about them
You must always
Listen to your ma
[Cornet 16-bar solo: Louis Armstrong]
[Chorus]
Listen to ma
I mean your sweet, sweet mother
Listen to ma
After her there’s no other
She won’t tell you nothin’ wrong
You’re always welcome in her home
She has good rules
I mean, they sure are good rules
Just like the school
I know you know about them
You must always
Listen to your ma
[Cornet coda: Louis Armstrong]
