Smokestack Lightnin' Lyrics


John Lee Hooker Smokestack Lightnin'

Oh my baby's house shine-o like smokestack lightnin'
Shines just like gold
Oh smokestack lightnin', teeth shine just like gold
Telling you man, leave that woman alone

She got eyes, eyes like diamond
And teeth shine just like pearls
Yes I have just like smokestack lightnin'
Hear me talking to you man, leave that woman alone

I don't need no, no 'lectric light
When the light is out, open her mouth
Shines just like gold, smokestack lightnin'
Shines just like gold
Smokes just like smokestack lightnin'
Leave her alone
Light man come by, cut my lights off
Take my baby, don't need no light
Smokestack lightnin', shining just like gold
Telling you man, leave that woman alone

Smokestack lightnin'
Smokestack lightnin' baby
Smokestack lightnin'
I don't need no light baby
When you're around
Teeth shine like pearl
Eyes shine like diamond
Have a baby like smokestack lightnin'
Leave, leave that woman alone
