"
(Spoken) Mammy-- Mammy, I'm comin'--
I'm so sorry that I made you wait!
Mammy-- Mammy, I'm comin'!
Oh God, I hope I'm not late!
Look at me, Mammy! Don't you know me?
I'm your little baby
I'm so sorry that I made you wait!
Mammy-- Mammy, I'm comin'!
Oh God, I hope I'm not late!
Look at me, Mammy! Don't you know me?
I'm your little baby
At this part of the song, imagine returning home to see your mother in her last days. For her frailty, the words are spoken, not sung. Yet speaking the lines adds to the emotion.

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I'd die for
You know you made me love you
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I'd die for
You know you made me love you
Gimme is slang for "give me." Repeating "gimmie," the singer is insisting how bad he needs that love.
When he says "kisses that I'd die for," he means he would trade anything for them.
The whole song is a sweet example of romantic exaggeration. Love songs still use it today.
