Elvis Presley That's All Right (Mama)
Written by Arthur Crudup
Elvis recorded it July 5, 1954 at Sun
Records-his first commercial recording there.
It was the first Elvis record played on the
radio. Dewey Phillips played it 14 times on
his Red, Hot and Blue show and he received 47
telephone calls from listeners when it was
played. Elvis interviewed on the program
later that evening. The single did not chart
nationally, but it reached #4 in Memphis.
Fewer than 20,000 copies were sold. The flip
side was Blue Moon of Kentucky. Elvis sang
it on his Grand Ole Opry appearance on
October 2, 1954 and during his many
appearances on the Louisiana Hayride and
while touring the south in 54-56. Elvis also
sang it in That's The Way It Is in 1970.
Elvis also sang it June 21, 1977 in Rapid
City, South Dakota, which was used in the TV
Special Elvis in Concert.
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 your 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, 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 all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
