Days of Old Songtext
von B.B. King & Eric Clapton

Way back yonder
In the days of old
The men was workin′
But not savin' any dough
Then came a woman
Lookin′ real cool
She said to herself:
"Now, that's my fool"

I'm gonna ball tonight
(I′m gonna ball tonight)
I′m gonna ball tonight
(I'm gonna ball tonight)
Well you can′t break the rule
Because every man is some woman's fool


Met a girl on the avenue
She was shy and I was blue
Like a teacher and
A student in school
Looked at me and said:
"You′re my fool"

We're gonna ball tonight
(We′re gonna ball tonight)
We're gonna ball tonight
(We're gonna ball tonight)
Man, I can′t break a rule
Because every man is some woman′s fool

Way back yonder
In the days of old
The men was workin'
But not savin′ any dough
Then came a woman
Lookin' real cool
She said to herself:
"Now, that′s my fool"


I'm gonna ball tonight
(I′m gonna ball tonight)
I'm gonna ball tonight
(I'm gonna ball tonight)
Well you can′t break the rule
Because every man is some woman′s fool

(I'm gonna ball tonight)
I′m gonna ball tonight
(We're gonna ball tonight)
We′re gonna ball tonight
(We're gonna ball tonight)
We′re gonna ball tonight
(We're gonna ball tonight)
We're gonna ball tonight
Well I can′t break the rule
