Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Troy Seals

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

I like to do me a little rock, do me a little roll
Country boogie woogie God is deep down in my soul
But it's good, got a hold on me
And I'm the boogie, woogie, boogie, boogie
Boogie, woogie man from Tennessee

Hey woman, let me catch you bulldog, let me take your bone
Shake it for ya, break it for ya all night long
It's got a hold on me
And I'm your boogie, woogie, boogie, boogie
Boogie, woogie man from Tennessee, yeah baby

Was born in Louisiana in the middle of a swamp
I'm like a backwater bullfrog, I'm ready to jump
Thank God, it's got a hold on me
I'm your boogie, woogie, boogie, boogie
Boogie, woogie man from Tennessee

Play it Kenny

Oh Lord, I love to boogie, I damn sure love to boogie
But oh, boogie, woogie
I'm your boogie, woogie, boogie, boogie
Boogie, woogie man from Tennessee, yeah

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
