Walkin’ the Boogie Songtext
von John Lee Hooker

Well, my mama didn′t 'llow me, just to run around all night long, oh Lord
Well, my mama didn′t 'llow me, just to run around all night long
I didn't care what she didn′t ′llow, I would slip on anyhow
When I first came to town people, I was walkin' down Hearthway


Heard everybody was talkin′ about, the Club Eliza
I decided I drop in there that night
When I got there, I say, "Yes, people"
They was really havin' a ball, oh Lord

One night I was layin′ down
I heard mama 'n papa talkin′
I heard papa tell mama, let that boy boogie-woogie
Because it's in him, and it got to come out
And I felt so good
Went on boogie'n just the same, oh Lord
