John Lee Hooker

Lyrics

I'm goin' away, baby.

But I will be comin' back.

I'm goin' away, babe.

But I will be comin' back.

I'm twenty-one now, baby.

An I sure can have my fun.

Last night I was laying down.

I heard papa tell mama.

'That boy's twenty-one, now.'

'An he can have his fun.'

I was layin' there listenin' in bed, to myself.

An I heard them, every word they said.

An I felt so good.

Kept on goin' my way.

Ooh, Jump Jump, Jump, Jump!

Don't worry, baby.

I sure heard the good news last night.

Don't worry, baby.

Heard the good news last night.

Heard mama, papa tell.

That I sure was twenty-one.

(Guitar solo)

My mama she heard it.

Papa heard the same.

Reason I boogie, can't help myself.

I got to do the Boogie.

I got to do the Boogie.

I've got to do the Boogie.

An I just can't help myself.

(Guitar solo)

Spoken:

Look-a-here, now baby.

Don't worry 'bout me.

Can't be home at twelve o'clock.

Cause I'm twenty-one, now.

I can stay out all night long.

An don't have to go home, until I get ready.

I said, baby, baby, baby.

Let's Boogie!

Let's Boogie Jump, awhile.
