Ou a pedra fundamental do rock 'n roll. A história de That's Alright Mama já virou lenda. Conta-se que no intervalo de uma de suas primeiras gravações, em 5 de julho de 1954, Elvis começou a brincar com uma antiga canção country no que foi seguido pelo pessoal da banda. Sam Philips, o produtor e dono dos estúdios Sun, perguntou o que era aquilo e pediu para eles não pararem. Surgia ali o misto de country e blues que viraria o rock'n'roll e Philips provou que estava certo quando disse que se encontrasse um branco que cantasse como negro ficaria rico.

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.
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.
