Well, I was gone
Gone to the army

Well, when I come back home, my baby
Still says she's mine

She's alright, she's alright

Well, I give 'er
Give her all a-my money
Tell me what more, can I do?

Well now, I really don't
Wanna b'lieve she gon'
She's gon' give it to you
She gon give it to you

She's alright, she's alright
She's alright, she's alright
She's alright, she's alright

Well, I went
Went to the church house
And I kneeled on my knees to pray
I got to thinkin' about that girl

She drove my
She drove my spirit away
She drove my spirit away
She drove my spirit away

She's alright, she's alright
She's alright, she's alright

Well, I could-a
Could-a had religion
Well, this bad old same day
Tell now, whiskey an' women won't now

Let the ol' poorboy pray
Let the poorboy pray

She's alright, she's alright
She's alright, she's alright
She's alright, she's alright
