Lyrics
Well, that's all right, mama
That's all right for you
That's all right, mama, just anyway you do
Well, that's all right, that's all right
That's all right now, mama, anyway you do
Well, mama, she done told me
Papa done told me too
"Son, that gal you're foolin' with, she ain't no good for you"
But that's all right, that's all right
That's all right now, mama, anyway you do
I'm leavin' town, baby
I'm leavin' town for sure
Well, then you won't be bothered with me hangin' 'round your door
But that's all right, that's all right
That's all right now, mama, anyway you do
