Juke Joint Johnny by Lattie Moore Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1953

[Verse 1]
Well I called my baby and I told her to be
Down at the juke joint a-waitin' for me
'Cause I'm a juke joint Johnny, yeah I know every joint in town
I'm a juke joint Johnny and I'm always jukin' around

[Verse 2]
Now I work all weekend and I draw my pay
I hit a juke joint and I throw it all away
'Cause I'm a juke joint Johnny, yeah I guess I'll always be
I'm a juke joint Johnny and a juke joint's home to me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Now I can dance all night to a juke joint song
When the sun comes up I'm still goin' strong
'Cause I'm a juke joint Johnny, yeah now watch me go
Well I'm a juke joint Johnny and baby you're steppin' too slow

[Verse 4]
These lonesome blues don't bother me none
'Cause I know every gal that wants to have fun
'Cause I'm a juke joint Johnny, yeah there ain't no flies on me
I'm a juke joint Johnny and a juke joint is where I'll be
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
Well I told my gal I just couldn't stay
She wants to marry but I want to play
'Cause I'm a juke joint Johnny, yeah I like to score all the time
I'm a juke joint Johnny and I juke on down the line
