Cover of Johnny Winter's Rock And Roll Hoochie Koo
Story behind the song
This one of my favourite Johnny Winter songs (Okay, I know it was orignally Rick Derringer). It was hard work, but I got a kick out of putting it together. Again my vocals let it down, so if you want a vocal free version to sing along to, just drop me a line (Lyrics below). Rock n Roll...
Lyrics
Rock And Roll Hoochie Koo (Johnny Winter Version)
I couldn't stop moving when it first took hold.
It was a warm spring night at the ol' town hall.
There was a band called The Jokers, they were layin' it down.
Don'tcha know I'm never gonna lose that funky sound.
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Lawdy mama light my fuse
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news
Hope ya'll know what I'm talkin' about.
The way she wiggles that thing, it really knocks me out.
I'm gettin' high all the time, hope ya'll are too.
Well come-on a little closer, gonna do it to you.
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Lawdy mama light my fuse
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news
The skeeters start buzzing 'bout this time o' year.
I'm goin' round back, she said she'd meet me there.
We were rollin' in the grass that grows behind the barn.
Now my ears started ringin' like a fire alarm.
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Lawdy mama light my fuse
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Lawdy mama light my fuse
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news
Done gone tired of payin' dues
Said goodbye to all my blues
Lawdy mama light my fuse
