I don't remember mama
She died when I was born
We lived in a one room shanty
But daddy tried to make it a home
When I was only six years old
I started singing in the streets
People would throw me pennies
So I could daddy make ends meet
And they'd say
Keep on singing
Don't stop singing
You're gonna be a star someday
You're gonna make a lot of people happy
When they come to hear you play
They said keep on singin
Keep the bells all ringin
Spread the music from town to town
There's not enough love in this old world
So spread your song around
By the time I was 10 years old
I had a little rock n roll band
Daddy's eyes were growing dim
But I didn't understand
He would be so proud of me
Each time he'd hear me play
At night he'd pull me to his side
And daddy would always say
He'd say to
We didn't have much money
But things didn't seem so bad
I felt just like the queen of the world
When I was with my dad
Then one rainy April night
Daddy called me to his side
He held me with his tremblin hands
And just before he died
He said
So I'll just
Keep on singing
I won't stop singing
I'm gonna be a star someday
I'm gonna make a lot of people happy
When they come to hear me play
I'll just keep on singin
Keep the bells all ringin
Spread the music from town to town
There's not enough love in this whole world
So I'll spread my song around
