About

This is one of Hooker’s most popular songs, and he recorded it several times. It’s a great example of Detroit Blues, but you’ll also hear that single-chord Hill Country sound.

As an aside, “chillen” is southern slang for children.

Boogie Chillun Lyrics

Well my mama she didn't 'low me
Just to stay out all night long, oh Lord
Well my mama didn't 'low me
Just to stay out all night long
I didn't care what she didn't 'low
I would boogie-woogie anyhow

When I first came to town people
I was walkin' down Hastings Street
Everybody was talkin' about the Henry Swing Club
I decided I drop in there that night
When I got there, I say, "Yes, people"
They was really havin' a ball!
Yes, I know
Boogie Chillin

One night I was layin' down
I heard mama 'n papa talkin'
I heard papa tell mama
Let that boy boogie-woogie
It's in him, and it got to come out
And I felt so good
Went on boogie'n just the same
