Well, that's alright, mama

That's alright 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 alright, that's alright
That's alright now mama, anyway you do

Well, then you won't be bothered with
Me hanging 'round your door
Well, that's alright, that's alright
