Lyrics Walkin' The Boogie - 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 Chillin
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
