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 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 leaving town tomorrow
I’m leaving town for sure
Then you won’t be bothered
With me hanging’ round your door
But, that’s all right, that’s all right.
That’s all right now mama, anyway you do
I ought to mind my papa
Guess I’m not too smart,
If I was I’d leave you
Go before you break my heart
But, that’s all right, that’s all right.
That’s all right now mama, anyway you do
Révélé au grand public en 1954 avec le succès du titre That’s Allright Mama, Elvis Presley a longtemps revendiqué la paternité de cette chanson. Pourtant, ce morceau souvent cité comme titre fondateur du rock’n’roll est en fait un blues accéléré d’Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup.
