Walkin' The Boogie Lyrics

John Lee Hooker Walkin' The Boogie

Well my mama she didn't 'low me, just to stay out all
night long, oh Lord
Well my mama didn't 'low me, just to stay out all night
long
I didn't care what she didn't 'low, I would
boogie-woogie
anyhow
When I first came to town people, I was walkin' down
Hastings Street
Everybody was talkin' about, the Henry Swing Club
I decided I drop in there that night
When I got there, I say, "Yes, people"
They was really havin' a ball!
Yes, I know
Boogie Chillun
One night I was layin' down,
I heard mama 'n papa talkin'
I heard papa tell mama, let that boy boogie-woogie,
it's in him, and it got to come out
And I felt so good,
went on boogie'n just the same
