"Mamy Blue" (later aka "Mammy Blue") is the title of an international hit from 1971–72 for several artists.
The song was originally written with French lyrics in 1970 by veteran French songwriter Hubert Giraud; he conceived the song in his car waiting out a Parisian traffic jam and had completed its demo within a few days. After four months the first recorded version of "Mamy Blue" was made - with Italian lyrics - by Ivana Spagna marking that singer's recording debut.
In May 1971 Alain Milhaud, a French record producer based in Spain, acquired the song for Los Pop-Tops, a Spanish group he managed. Milhaud produced the Pop-Tops recording of "Mamy Blue" in a session in London after the group's frontman Phil Trim wrote English lyrics for the song. The French Barclay label expediently had the song covered by both Joël Daydé (fr) and Nicoletta.
The Daydé version - featuring Phil Trim's English lyric - was recorded at Olympic Sound Studio in London and the Decca Studio in Paris: Wally Stott was the arranger. Nicoletta's version featured the original French lyrics written by Hubert Giraud who himself produced Nicoletta's recording.

"Mamy Blue" is a 1970 song written by French songwriter Hubert Giraud. Originally written with French lyrics, the song was rendered in English in 1971 to become an international hit for the Pop-Tops, Joël Daydé (fr) and Roger Whittaker. A hit in Italy in Italian lyrics for Dalida and in France in its original French for Nicoletta, "Mamy Blue" was also rendered in a number of other languages in cover versions recorded by a good number of local recording artists across continental Europe, while a "local cover" of the English-language version by Charisma reached #1 in South Africa. The song's title is generally spelled as "Mammy Blue" in the English-speaking world.

Oh ma-my, oh ma-my ma-my blue, oh ma-my blue......
I may be your forgotten son (oh mamy), who wand'red off a twenty one (oh mamy). It's sad to find myself at home (oh mamy) and you, you're not around. If I could only hold your hand (oh mamy) And say I'm sorry, yes I am (oh mamy). I'm sure you'd really understand (oh mamy). Oh mam, where are you now?
Oh ma-my, oh ma-my ma-my blue, oh ma-my blue...... I need you mamy mamy, oh mamy ........
The house we shared upon the hill (oh mamy) seems lifeless but it's standing still (oh mamy), and mem'ries of my child-hood fill my mind (oh mamy), ma-my ma-my. I've been through all the walks of life (oh mamy), seen tired days and lonely nights (oh mamy). And now without you by my side (oh mamy), I'm lost; how will I survive?
