Lyrics Boogie Chillum - John Lee Hooker

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
Its in Detroit, I heard 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 Chillun
Yeah Chillun

I was layin' down, One night
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
Oh, Lord
Ooh, Alright Niggas can do it
