Roy Kelton Orbison (April 23, 1936 – December 6, 1988), nicknamed "The Big O", was an influential American singer-songwriter and a pioneer of rock and roll, whose recording career spanned more than four decades. By the mid-1960s Orbison was internationally recognized for his ballads of lost love, rhythmically advanced melodies, three-octave vocal range, characteristic dark sunglasses, and sometimes distinctive usage of falsetto, typified in songs such as "Only the Lonely, "Oh, Pretty Woman", and "Crying".

BmE I know a place in New Orleans. AC#m7F#m They call the Castle of Kings and Queens. BmE Where an old sweet black woman sings. AC#m7F#m And plays piano like a dream. BmBm7E She puts out all her beautiful heart and soul for you. A Sweet mamma blue.
Chorus: DE Sweet mamma blue will only sing about the truth. AA7 And it will get to you. DE Sweet mamma blue will sing of love as only she can do. AF#mBmEA 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, EF#m The world sure will miss you. BmBm7E And when I feel blue I think of you. AF#mBmEA Sweet mamma blue. Sweet mamma blue.
