Lyrics: James A Lane (Jimmy Rodgers)
Music: James A Lane (Jimmy Rodgers)
Played by Elvin Bishop with the Dead on 8 June 1969. He and Pigpen share vocals.
The song properly called "That's All Right."
Jerry Garcia played it with Merl Saunders (a version is on the CD 'Keepers').
It is not the same song as "That's All Right (Mama)" by Arthur Crudup
(even though 'Keepers' lists it as that).
It's a Jimmy Rogers [real name James A Lane] song,
covered by Junior Parker and many others. But to avoid confusion, I have left the title as "Who's Loving You Tonight" here
This is the version by Elvin Bishop and Pigpen:
[Elvin Bishop]The version on "Keepers" is:
You told me baby, once upon a time
If I'd be yours, you'd be mine
But that's all right
I know you lovin' another man, but that's all right
But now and then I wonder, who's loving you tonight?
[Pigpen]
You love another man, [but love her too]
I need you baby, I'm gonna get next to you
My, my, my, my, my, my love
I got to be next to you tonight
I want you now baby
Who's loving you tonight?
[Elvin Bishop]
You told me baby, that your love for me was strong
But I found out that you were doing me wrong
But that's all right
I know you love another man, but that's all right
But now and then I wonder, who's loving you tonight?
Now what I wonder, who's loving you tonight?Jerry sang a slightly different version on 24 Jan 1973:
You told me baby, your love for me was strong
Woke up this morning, your big words were gone
But that's all right
I know you loves another man, but that's all right
But now what I wonder, who's loving you tonight?
Tell me baby, what you wanna tell?
If I be your's, little girl you'd be mine
But that's all right
I know you loves another man, but that's all right
Well now that I wonder, who's loving you tonight?
You told me baby, once upon a time
I'd be your's, little girl you'd be mine
But that's all right
I know you loves another man, but that's all right
But now what I wonder, who's loving you tonight?
You told me baby, your love for me was strong
Woke up this morning, the sweet words were gone
But that's all right
I know you loves another man, but that's all right
But now what I wonder, who's loving you tonight?
