Mamma said there would be days like this, days like this, my mamma said?

Question

WHO SANG THIS SONG IN THE FIFTIES AND SIXTIES? It was not Billy Holiday, she never sang the song and she was dead by 1951.

Answer 1

The other were right too, for the record it was called "Mama Said" by The Shirelles and it went to #4 in 1961.

Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this my Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)

I went walking the other day,
Everything was going fine,
I met a little boy named Billy Joe
And then I almost lost my mind

Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this my Mama said

My eyes are wide open
But all that I can see is,
Chapel bells are callin for everyone but-a me
But I don't worry 'cause

Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this my Mama said

And then she said someone will look at me
Like I'm looking at you one day,
Then I might find
I don't want it any old way,
So I don't worry 'cause

Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this my Mama said
Mama said, mama said
Hey! Don't you worry,
Mama said mama said
Hey! Don't you worry now.
Mama said mama said,
Hey! Hey!
