All Night Long

John Lee Hooker

Well, my mama she didn′t 'low me
Just to stay out all night long, oh Lord
Well, my mama didn′t 'low me
Just to stay out all night long

I didn't care what she didn′t ′low
I would boogie-woogie anyhow

When I first came to town people
I was walkin' down Hastings Street
I got everybody talkin′ about the Henry Swing Club
I decided I drop in there that night
When I got there, I say, "Yes, people"
They was really havin' a ball!
Yes, I know

Boogie Chillen′

One night, I was layin' down
I heard mama ′n papa talkin'
I heard papa tell mama
Let that boy boogie-woogie
'Cause it′s in him, and it got to come out
Well, that felt so good
And I went on boogie′n just the same, yes
