"BOOGIE WOOGIE COUNTRY GIRL" LYRICS
BIG JOE TURNER - 1956
Well, I'm in love, I'm in love with your dungarees,
Red-checkered shirt, now if you please.
My boogie woogie, boogie woogie…. boogie woogie country girl,
Well you know what I mean, my boogie woogie country girl.
Now she digs that music with a beat,
Rock 'n' roll is what she need.
My boogie woogie, boogie woogie….boogie woogie country girl,
Well, I mean what I mean, my boogie woogie country girl.
Well, it's Saturday night and I just got paid,
Ain’t worried ‘bout the money that I ain’t gonna save.
My boogie woogie, boogie woogie….boogie woogie country girl,
You know what I mean, my boogie woogie country girl.
(Horn & Piano Instrumental)
On Saturday night she comes to town,
Hits the dance floor, let her hair hang down.
My boogie woogie, boogie woogie….boogie woogie country girl,
Well, I mean what I mean, my boogie woogie country girl.
Now when she's dancin' the guys hang around,
They dig my baby 'cause she really gets down.
My boogie woogie, boogie woogie….boogie woogie country girl,
Oh, you dig what I mean, my boogie woogie country girl.
She rocks she rolls, she’s in the groove
All the gals are jealous the way she moves.
My boogie woogie, boogie woogie….boogie woogie country girl,
You know what I mean, my boogie woogie country girl.
(Piano Instrumental)
She hunts she fishes, she can milk the cow,
My baby is country and she sure knows how.
My boogie woogie, boogie woogie…. boogie woogie country girl,
Well you know what I mean, my boogie woogie country girl.
She steals the show, she likes to jive,
She has to boogie to keep alive.
My boogie woogie, boogie woogie….boogie woogie country girl,
You know what I mean, my boogie woogie country girl.
Well, I love my boogie woogie,
Country western boogie,
A fifties rock n' roll boogie,
A good old blues boogie woogie
You know that I love my boogie woogie country girl.
