Now that's all right, that's all right 
That's all right now mama, anyway you do 
missing verse 
Well, my mama she done told me. pap's 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, any way you do 
I'm leaving town tomorrow. 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, mama, any way you do 
I oughta mind my pap, 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 alright, mama, any way you do
