As we listened to the Opera when I was just a kid.
|
My daddy talked of Saturday's them crazy things he did.
|
He said this is a story, how your Mamma first met me
|
And the going thing was Texas swing before Bob Will's was king
|
|
Was in the town of Tulsa about 30 years ago
|
At King's Academy down in old Oklahoma
|
Well the dust was blowing but the music was right
|
And W. Lee O'Daniel played it all night
|
|
For The Light Crust Dough Boys and W. Lee O'Dan
|
We drove 80 miles through that blowing sand
|
My 37' Chevy was shootin'stain
|
Coming up them hills it just ceased up on me
|
|
And I wouldn't miss a thing on Saturday night
|
We're all in the Chevy's in that Detroit light
|
I can hear that music in my ear
|
I was ready to go and I was shifting them gears
|
|
(Instrumental)
|
|
So your mamma passed the biscuits and gave me her hand
|
Knew she was my honey and she knew I was her man
|
We listened to the Fiddler he was making it sing
|
And heard them pretty notes of that guitar ring
|
|
I had no trouble, was feeling no pain
|
That moon shine whiskey and your mamma in my van
|
And The Light Crust Dough Boys and old happy Dan
|
Played us a song, we'll never forget
|
|
Now the times they were tough and money was tight
|
But I didn't care on Saturday night
|
Had no money but I could sing a blues
|
I felt like dancin' down in my shoes
|
|
(Instrumental)
|
|
Was in the town of Tulsa about 30 years ago
|
At King's Academy down in the old Oklahoma
|
Well the dust was blowing but music was right
|
And W. Lee O'Daniel played it all night
|
|
Yes, W. Lee O'Daniel played it all night
|
|
Play it Dan
