That’s all right my mama, that’s all right for you
That’s all right my mama any old way you do
But that’s all right, well that’s all right
Well that’s all right my mama
any way that you wanna do

My mother she did tell me
Papa did tell me too
Son, that woman that you’re foolin’ with
she ain’t no good for you

I’ll be leaving here tomorrow
leaving here for sure
you ain’t gotta be bothered with me
hangin’ ’round your door
