I know a place in New Orleans.
              A         C#m7      
They call the Castle of Kings and 
F#m
Queens.
             Bm               
Where an old sweet black woman 
 E
sings.
          A     C#m7   F#m
And plays piano like a dream.
             Bm                Bm7
She puts out all her beautiful 
                E
heart and soul for you.

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       
Sweet mamma blue.       Sweet 
    A
mamma blue.
