Luther Played The Boogie
1955-1960
Lyrics:
We were just a plain ol' hillbilly band with a plain ol' country style,
We never played the kind of songs that'd drive anyone wild,
Played a railroad song with a stomping beat.
We played a blues song, kinda slow and sweet,
But the thing that knocked them off of their feet was, ooh wee.
CHORUS:
When Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie,
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie,
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie,
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie in the strangest kind of way.
Play it strange.
Well, we did beat our best to entertain everywhere we'd go,
We'd nearly wear our fingers off to give the folks a show,
Played jumping jive to make 'em get in the groove.
We played sad songs, real slow and smooth,
But the only thing that'd make 'em move was, ooh wee.
CHORUS
Now damn Luther played the boogie straight.
