Bukkas Boogie
Booker T Washington White
Played the Blues his whole damn life
Boogied all night, dusk 'til dawn
Jitterbug Swing got it going on
Parchman Farm, done his time
Way down there for committing a crime
He got out and he rode the rails
Doin' his best just to keep from jail
Wine Women Whiskey every night
All they ever did was to fuss and fight
Drifting Blues town to town
Ain't no way he'd ever settle down
INSTRUMENTAL
Travelled this world town by town
Every place he'd play he'd always Shake Em On Down
Started looking funny in his eyes
Don't you know that Bukka was a Fixin' To Die
Played the Blues his whole damn life
Boogied all night, dusk 'til dawn
Jitterbug Swing got it going on
Parchman Farm, done his time
Way down there for committing a crime
He got out and he rode the rails
Doin' his best just to keep from jail
Wine Women Whiskey every night
All they ever did was to fuss and fight
Drifting Blues town to town
Ain't no way he'd ever settle down
INSTRUMENTAL
Travelled this world town by town
Every place he'd play he'd always Shake Em On Down
Started looking funny in his eyes
Don't you know that Bukka was a Fixin' To Die
