Walking The Boogie

Walking The Boogie (24 Apr 1952) - John Lee H****r

Well my mama she didn't allow me

Just to stay out all night long oh Lord

Well my mama didn't allow me

Just to stay out all night long

I didn't care what she didn't allow I would

Boogie-woogie

Anyhow

When I first came to town

I was walking down Hastings Street

Everybody was talking about

The Henry Swing Club

I decided I drop in there that night

When I got there I say Yes people

They was really having a ball

Boogie Chillun

One night I was laying down

I always heard mama papa talking

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 just the same
