King Creole - Tennessee

King Creole sound

There's a man in New Orleans who plays rock and

Roll

He's a guitar man with a great big soul

And he lays down a beat like a ton of

Coal

He goes by the name of king creole

You know he's gone gone gone

Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole yeah

You know he's gone gone gone

And hip shaking king creole king creole king creole

When the King starts to do it it's as good

As done

He holds his guitar like a Tommy gun

He starts to growl from way down his throat

He bends a string and that's all she wrote

You know he's gone gone gone

Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole yeah

You know he's gone gone gone

And hip shaking king creole king creole king creole

Well he plays something evil then he plays something sweet

No matter how he plays you get up

On your feet

When he gets the rockin' fever baby heaven shakes

He don't stop playin' 'til his guitar breaks

You know he's gone gone gone

Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole yeah

You know he's gone gone gone and let it

Hip shaking king creole king creole so

So

He sings a song about a crowded hole

He sings a song about a jelly roll

He sings a song about pork and greens

He sings some blues about New Orleans

You know he's gone gone gone

Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole yeah

You know he's gone gone gone and let it

And shaking king creole king creole let's go

You know he's gone gone gone

And happy shaking king creole

Creole creole creole creole
