Days Of Old Songtext
von B.B. King

Way back yonder in the days of old
The man was working, but not saving any dough
Then came a woman looking real cool
She said to herself, "Now that′s my fool"

I'm gonna ball tonight (gonna ball tonight)
I′m gonna ball tonight (gonna ball tonight)
Well, I can't break the rule
Because every man is some woman's fool

Met a girl on the avenue
She was shy and I was blue
Like a teacher and a student in school
Looked at me and said, "You′re my fool"


We gonna ball tonight (gonna ball tonight)
We gonna ball tonight (gonna ball tonight)
Well, I can′t break the rule
But every man is some woman's fool

Way back yonder in the days of old
The man was working but not saving any dough
Then came a woman looking real cool
She said to herself, "Now that′s my fool"

I'm gonna ball tonight (gonna ball tonight)
I′m gonna ball tonight (gonna ball tonight)
Well, I can't break the rule
Because every man is some woman′s fool

We gonna ball tonight (I'm gonna tonight)
We gonna ball tonight (I'm gonna ball tonight)
We gonna ball tonight (I′m gonna ball tonight)
We gonna ball tonight (I′m gonna ball tonight)

Well, I can't break the rule
′Cause every man is some woman's fool
