Title of a song: That’s all right.
Lyrics:
Well, that's all right, mama
That'sall 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 toldme,
Papa done told me too
'Son, that gal your fooling with,
She ain't no good for you'
But, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anywayyou 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 allright.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do |
