Lyrics

(Arthur Crudup)

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

Mama she done told me,

Papa done told me too

‘Son, that gal your 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 leaving town, baby

I’m leaving town for sure

Well, then you won’t be bothered with

Me hanging ’round your door

Well, that’s all right, that’s all right.

That’s all right now mama, anyway you do
