Days Of Old Songtext
von B.B. King and His Orchestra

Way back yonder in the days of old
The men was workin′ but not savin' any dough
Then came a woman lookin′ real cool
She said to herself "Now, that's my fool"
I'm gonna ball tonight
I′m gonna ball tonight
Well I can′t break the rule because every man is some woman's fool


I met a girl on the avenue
She was shy and I was blue
Like a student and a teacher in school
She said to me now "You′re my fool"
I'm gonna ball tonight
I′m gonna ball tonight
I can't break the rule because every man is some woman fool

Say way back yonder in the days of old
The men was workin′ but not savin' any dough
Then came a woman lookin' real cool
She then began to play every man for fool
I′m gonna ball tonight
I′m gonna ball tonight
Well I can't break the rule because every man is some woman fool

Yeah
I′m gonna ball tonight
Ball tonight
I'm gonna ball tonight
I′m gonna ball tonight
Well I can't break the rule because every man is some woman fool
