BOOGIE WOOGIE FRED
(Freddy 'Fingers' Lee)
FREDDY 'FINGERS' LEE (ROCKHOUSE LP7912, 1979)

Back up in the town where I come from
There's a one-eyed boogie boy playing up a storm
He lays it hot, he lays it high
And when he gets a-rockin', he's a-rockin' all night
'Cause it's a-Boogie Woogie Fred layin' it down
Boogie Woogie Fred from Durran Town
Boogie Woogie Fred, sure delight
A-rockin' and a-boppin' on a Saturday night

So, I rocked on down to London
And I played that boogie down
Well, I played it high, I played it low
They said, that one-eyed boogie boy's really gotta go
'Cause it's a-Boogie Woogie Fred layin' it down
Boogie Woogie Fred from Durran Town
Boogie Woogie Fred, sheer delight
A-rockin' and a-boppin' on a Saturday night

He's a joy and he's New Castle born
He sure can boogie woogie goin' on and on
A left hand roll, a-poundin' right
Freddy Fingers Lee is gonna rock it all night
They said, that one-eyed boogie boy's really gotta go
Well, that's a-Boogie Woogie Fred layin' it down
Boogie Woogie Fred from Durran Town
Boogie Woogie Fred, sheer delight
A-rockin' and a-boppin' on a Saturday night

So, I rocked on down to London
And I played that boogie down
I played it high, I played it low
They said, that one-eyed boogie boy's really gotta go
'Cause that's a-Boogie Woogie Fred layin' it down
Boogie Woogie Fred from Durran Town
Boogie Woogie Fred, sheer delight
A-rockin' and a-boppin' on a Saturday night

Well, a-Boogie Woogie Fred is a-layin' it down
Boogie Woogie Fred from Durran Town
Boogie Woogie Fred, sheer delight
A-rockin' and a-boppin' on a Saturday night

Well, a-Boogie Woogie Fred is a-layin' it down
Boogie Woogie Fred from Durran Town
Boogie Woogie Fred, sheer delight
A-rockin' and a-boppin' on a Saturday ni-i-i-ght
