Boogie Woman

Don't you just love boogie woogie piano? That constant left hand grinding out the rhythm. I've had a fascination for this music ever since I was a kid. I can't profess to be a great boogie woogie piano player, but I love to try. There's a bit of controversy over where the phrase 'boogie woogie' came from. Some say it's a euphemism for another rhythmic activity we all like to do. In that case, if you like a boogie woogie piano, you'll love a boogie woogie woman.

I used to have a woman 

Must have had a heart of stone 

Never used to love me 

Never used to come on home 

I said, "If you don't want to boogie 

Better just to leave me alone" 

 

I want a boogie woman 

Who's never gonna do me wrong 

I want a boogie woman 

To tell me I'm the only one 

I want a boogie woogie woman 

To boogie woogie all night long 

 

I used to have a woman 

Always used to bring me down 

Never gave me nothing 

Treated me like dirt on the ground 

I said, "If you don't want to boogie 

Then baby I'm not hanging around" 

 


I want a boogie woman 

Who's never gonna do me wrong 

I want a boogie woman 

To tell me I'm the only one 

I want a boogie woogie woman 

To boogie woogie all night long
