Luther Played the Boogie Songtext
von Johnny Cash

We were just a plain ol′ hillbilly band
With a plain ol' country style
We never played the kind of songs that′d drive anybody wild
Played a railroad song with a stompin' beat
We played a blues song kinda slow and sweet
But to think it knocked them off of their feet was- ooh-wee
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 our best to entertain everywhere we'd go
We′d nearly wear our fingers off to give the folks a show
Played jumpin′ jives 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
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

Now, didn′t Luther play the boogie strange?
