That's All Right by Elvis Presley

Artist: Elvis Presley

Genre: Pop

Length: 1:59

This was Presley’s first commercial recording for Sun Records. Sam Phillips matched Presley with Scotty Moore and Bill Black, and Phillips had the three rehearse several songs, trying to find the sound Phillips was after. They found it in an obscure 1946 blues song by Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup called “That’s All Right”. By changing the tempo to upbeat blues, some music historians now consider it the first song of the rock and roll genre.

That's All Right lyrics

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
Well mama, she done told me
Papa done told me too
Son, that girl you're fooling 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 around your door
But that's all right, that's all right
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
Ah da da dee dee dee dee
Dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee
I need your lovin'
That's all right
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
