Born to Boogie

Born to Boogie - Carl Perkins

Written by：J.Elgin/T.Fuller

I was born in a shack in west tennessee

I picked that cotton down upon my knees

The sun got hotter each and every day

But me and my brothers kept a pickin' away

Seemed like the sun would never go down

So we could clap our hands and gather around

And do the boogie

Boogie

Yeah I learned the rhythm

Boogie woogie rhythm

And it wasn't very long

Till I was doin' the boogie woogie rhythm

Well I prayed all week for saturday night

Turn my back on the sun and put the sack

Out of sight

Take the long dusty road

Into town

My feet kept the rhythm as I walked the hot

Ground

But nothing could keep me from my favourite spot

Where the chicks were a waitin' and the music was

Hot

Born to boogie

Boogie

Lord I got the rhythm

Boogie woogie rhythm

And it wasn't very long

Till I done the boogie woogie rhythm

Like this I did the boogie

Yeah could the keep tight to the boogie

Go get

Well monday morning was always bad

But it was worth it all for the time I

Had

Lord oh lordy how I wish it would rain

Just the sun have mercy on a country boy's pain

But I make believe everything's all right

Gonna do it again come saturday night

I do the boogie

Boogie

Yeah yeah with lots of rhythm

Boogie woogie rhythm

Lord I learned to move by doin' that boogie woogie

Rhythm

And like the different different into a lot of boogie

Yeah yeah

Born to boogie

Oh born to boogie

Yeah born to boogie

Boogie

Boogie

Born to boogie

One more time

Born to boogie

Oh born to boogie

Yeah born to boogie

Full of rhythm one more time

Now go get
