Well, my mama didn't 'llow me, just to run around all night long, oh Lord
Well, my mama didn't 'llow me, just to run around all night long
I didn't care what she didn't 'llow, I would slip on anyhow
When I first came to town people, I was walkin' down Hearthway
Heard everybody was talkin' about, the Club Eliza
I decided I drop in there that night
When I got there, I say, "Yes, people"
They was really havin' a ball, oh Lord
One night I was layin' down
I heard mama 'n papa talkin'
I heard papa tell mama, let that boy boogie-woogie
Because it's in him, and it got to come out
And I felt so good
Went on boogie'n just the same, oh Lord
