Country Boy Lyrics


I ain't nothin' but a country boy
Driftin' from town to town
I ain't nothin' but a country boy
Driftin' from town to town
Got no place, ooh yeah
To call my homeSometime in travellin'
I travel when nights are blue
Sometime my night
My night so dark and blue
But I keep on travellin'
No place to lay my worried headI'm just a country boy
Driftin' from town to town
Driftin' from town to town
I ain't got no place
To lay my worried head, babySometime I lay down on the highway
I cry to take my rest
I hear a freight train howlin'
I drown my head and run

I'm just a country boy
Driftin' from town to town, have mercyNow one night I was travellin'
I saw a light in the winter
I was so cold at night
And my clothes were soakin' wet
I walked on to the door
I knocked on the doorA little girl come to the door
She said, "Mister, what do you want"
I said, "It's cold outside, baby"
She looked at me and said
"Come on in, I wanna talk to you"I got a brother who left home
He was twelve years old
Just like the prodigal son
I know you'd find him

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

John Lee Hooker (Coahoma County, Mississippi, August 22, 1917 – Los Altos, California, June 21, 2001) was a highly influential American blues singer, guitarist and songwriter. John Lee Hooker could be said to embody his own unique genre of the blues, often incorporating the boogie-woogie piano style and a driving rhythm into his masterful and idiosyncratic blues guitar and singing. His best known songs include "Boogie Chillen" (1948) and "Boom Boom" (1962).
