born to boogie - jerry lee lewis lyrics

born to boogie
writers jason elgin, tom 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 sat-rday 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)
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 sat-rday 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
born to boogie, yeah
born to boogie, yeah, full of rhythm
born to boogie, yeah, one more time
