[Intro]
| E | E | E | E |
[Verse 1]
E
We were just a plain old hillbilly band with a plain old country style
F# B7
We never played the kind of songs that'd drive anybody wild
E
Played a railroad song with a stompin' beat
A
We played a blues song, kinda slow and sweet
F# B7
But the thing that knocked 'em off of their feet was, hoo-wee
[Chorus]
E
When Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie
E
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie
A
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie
E
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie in the
B7 E
Strangest kind of way... Play it strange!

[Verse 2]
E
Well, we did our best to entertain ev'rywhere we'd go
F# B7
We'd nearly wear our fingers off to give the folks a show
E
Played a jumpin' jive to make 'em get in a groove
A
We played sad songs real slow and smooth
F# B7
But the only thing that would make 'em move was, hoo-wee
[Chorus]
E
When Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie
E
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie
A
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie
E
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie in the
B7 E
Strangest kind of way
