1954 Boogie Blues

(альбом: Song Of Joy - 1976)

I wanta hear me some boogie played like I heard in 1954
I wanta hear me some boogie played like I heard in 1954

You know the way that Fats played the boogie
You just don't hear that anymore

I was just a little thing when I heard it on the radio
I was just a little thing when I heard it on the radio
Jerry Lee and Little Richard, you just don't hear that anymore

It was a romping, stomping, finger-popping, good-time music for my soul
And when the drums were talking and the bass went walking
That started it, rock and roll, oh

I wanta hear me some boogie played like I heard in 1954
I wanta hear my Captain play some boogie now like I heard in 1954

You know the way my Captain plays the boogie
You just don't hear that anymore
