Chorus
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
You make me happy when skies are gray.
But if some fool breaks your sweet heart, baby,
Mama will make him go away.
Verse 1
He best not lie, he best not play you,
He better treat you like a queen.
‘Cause if he don’t, I’ll grab my rifle,
And paint the town with gasoline.
Chorus
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
You make my world a brighter place.
But if he hurts you, Lord, forgive me,
Mama’s wrath gon’ leave no trace.
Bridge
I’ll shine my boots, I’ll load my pistol,
Whisper prayers beneath the moon.
For, If he forgets you’re heaven’s daughter,
He will meet his maker soon.
Final Chorus
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
My little light, my saving grace.
And if that boy don’t keep you smiling,
Mama’s gonna make sure
he pays.
