Luther's Played the Boogie Songtext
von Johnny Cash

We were just a plain ol′ hillbilly band
With a plain ol' country style
We never played the kind of songs
That′d drive anybody wild

Played a railroad song with a stomping beat
We played a blues song kinda slow and sweet
But the thing that knocked them off
Of their feet was, ooh-wee

When Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie


Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie in a strangest kind of way
Play it strange

Well, we did our best to entertain
Everywhere we'd go
We'd nearly wear our fingers off
To give the folks a show

Played jumping jive to make ′em get in the groove
We played sad songs real slow and smooth
But the only thing that′d
Make 'em move was, ooh-wee

When Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie

Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie in a strangest kind of way


Now didn′t Luther play the boogie strange?
