ALL MAMA'S CHILDREN



WRITERS JOHNNY CASH, CARL PERKINS



There was an old woman that lived in a shoe



Had so many children, she didn't know what to do



They were doin' all right, till she took 'em to town



The kids started pickin' 'em up and puttin' 'em down



Now all your children wanna rock, mama



All your children wants to roll



They wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop till they pop



All your children wants to rock



Rock now, go!



Well, we're not tryin' to live too fast



And we might as well try to live in class



We better move out before the rent comes due



'Cause we wanna live in a blue suede shoe



All your children wanna rock, mama



All your children wants to roll



Wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop till they pop



All your children want to rock



Now rock, go!



Well, every night when it's quiet and still



You can hear it echoing through the hill



From a blue suede shoe on a mountain top



All of mama's youngens are doin' the bop



All them children wanna rock, mama



All your children wanna roll



They wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop till they pop



All your children wanna rock



Rock, go!



Hey let's rock it!



Well bop!



Well, all your children wanna rock, mama



All your children wanna roll



They wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop till they pop



All them children wants to rock
