MAMA DON'T ALLOW (Traditional) The writing credit for this song is sometimes attributed to Charles "Cow Cow" Davenport, who recorded the piano solo "Mama Don't Allow No Easy Riders Here" in 1929, but it seems to be based on the earlier songs, "Mr. Crump Don't Allow No Easy Riders" (from 1907) and "Mama Don't Allow No Low Down Hangin' Around").
