John lee Hooker Performing Boogie Chille with Roy Rogers in concert 1992 Berkely!
Nobody sounds quite like him. One of the best voices in history, and a great guitar player! Btw Roy Rogers is awesome, a real killer slide guitarist!
Lyrics:
Well, my mama ‘low me just to stay out all night long
Oh, Lord
Well, my mama ‘low me just to stay out all night long
I didn’t care she ‘low, I would boogie 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 Chillen’
One night I was layin’ down
I heard mama and 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 boogin’ just the same
Songwriters: Besman / Hooker
