Luther Played the Boogie lyrics

We were just a plain ol' hillbilly band with a plain ol' country style

We'd 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 the thing that knocked 'em off of their feet was

Oooh-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)

[ Guitar ]

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' jive 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

Oooh-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

[ Guitar ]

Now didn't Luther play the boogie strange?
