Hey you with the guitar
Where did you play last night?
I do believe it was in Memphis
But I can't remember right now
'Cause I been foul politicin'
And I acted in peem to bay
I had to get up five this morning
With them bells playing in my head
Sometimes I work so hard
I'm gonna play my fingers to the bone
Well, I've been boogie, boogie
Boogie on my way back home
Well, I've been workin' every night
For the place's my meets in the east
I'm gonna finish up tomorrow night
And turn myself a plane back east
I'm gonna do my work so I can
Help my pain and rest
Well, I'll be back here someday soon
Hope I can give my best
Sometimes I work so hard
I'm gonna play my fingers to the bone
I'm gonna boogie, boogie
Boogie on my way back home
Yeah
Well, my axe is gettin' rusty
And an old sloven I'm seemin' to be
The throat is gettin' dusty
For it's gone that I had drifty hands
Well, I've been up for hot bringin'
And I had to get my man to pay
I had to catch a plane this morning
With them bells ringing in my head
Sometimes I work so hard
I'm gonna, gonna play my fingers to the bone, hooh
Well, now I can boogie, boogie
Boogie on my way back home
Said now I can boogie, boogie
Boogie on my way back home
