[words and music by Webb Pierce]

Well…it’s a teenage boogie on a Saturday night

A teenage boogie (hey hey)
A teenage boogie (ho ho)
A high schooly boogie (hey hey)
A hillbilly boogie (ho ho)
A teenage boogie (teenage boogie)
It’s a teenage boogie on a Saturday night

Saturday night about eight o’clock
This old place begins to reel and rock
Everybody gathers from miles around
To hear them sing as they shuffle on down
A teenage boogie (teenage boogie)
It’s a teenage boogie on a Saturday night

A teenage boogie (hey hey)
A teenage boogie (ho ho)
A high schooly boogie (hey hey)
A hillbilly boogie (ho ho)
A teenage boogie (teenage boogie)
It’s a teenage boogie on a Saturday night

They ramble and they jamble till broad daylight
They sing and they jive and everything’s right
A teenage boogie on a Saturday night
A high schooly boogie makes everything right
A teenage boogie (teenage boogie)
It’s a teenage boogie on a Saturday night

A teenage boogie (hey hey)
A teenage boogie (ho ho)
A high schooly boogie (hey hey)
A hillbilly boogie (ho ho)
A teenage boogie (teenage boogie)
It’s a teenage boogie on a Sat-ur-day night

I know that she knows that’s what hurts most of all
It ain’t that she still loves this fool who’s let his morals fall
Lord give me strength before her patience tires
Please help me stop this crazy wild desire

I’m married to an angel who’s love is warm and true
Still I keep on doing these crazy things I do
I slip around with others while my conscience burn like fire
How can I stop this crazy wild desire

I know that she knows that’s what hurts most of all
It ain’t that she still loves this fool who’s let his morals fall
Lord give me strength before her patience tires
Please help me stop this crazy wild desire

They’ll meet you with a smile
And a a howdy How you all
In just a little while
You’ll get that Texas drawl

Hats are white and their boots are brown
You’ll just love this place called Cowtown

No matter where you may wander
No matter where you may roam
There’s a place way out yonder
I’m going there to make it my home

repeat

I got the California blues
And I’m sure gonna leave you here
I got the California blues
And I’m sure gonna leave you here
I may ride the Blinde
I ain’t got no railroad fare

Talk about your troubles

Lord that’s all I’ve ever known
You talk about your troubles
Lord that’s all I’ve ever known
Now if I hadn’t been a good man
I could not have stayed at home

Repeat #1

I’m a-walkin’ the dog
And I’m never blue
I’m a-walkin’ the dog
I ain’t thinkin’ ‘bout you
Don’t need no one to tie me down
I’m a-walkin’ the dog, and a- paintin’ the town.

Such an easy life I never knew
Until the day that I left you
Well, I’m a carefree lad that’s seen the light
I’m a-walkin’ the dog, all the day and all night.

Well, I’m full of pep, I just can’t grow old
I got a one-track mind, so I’ve been told
But I’m fancy-free, I don’t worry nohow
And, I’m walkin’ the dog, all the law will allow.

Such an easy life I never knew
I can’t believe it’s really true
Well, I’m a carefree lad that’s seen the light
I’m a-walkin’ the dog, all the day and all night.

to get used to it……i knew about the system from being around
other musicians…..but always used the CHORDS I CAN SEE METHOD.

You’re not mine any- more
But I’m still prayin’ for
Just a note from you
To say you’ve changed your mind
Now I know you say we’re thru
But I’m still in love with you
And it’s my fault
That you’re not mine any- more.

If you don’t ever change your mind
To take me back again
I hope you meet someone, that’s true
And fall in love with him
Since the day you say we’re thru
I’m even more in love with you
And it’s my fault
That you’re not mine any- more.

REPEAT BOTH VERSES

Don’t let me cross over love’s cheating line
You belong to another and you’ll never be mine
I know one step closer would be heaven divine
Don’t let me cross over love’s cheating line

I’ve tried to forget you but what else can I do
When your eyes keep saying that you love me too
I know if I lose you not a dream will I have left
I don’t want to cheat dear but I can’t help myself

Don’t let me cross over love’s cheating line
You belong to another and you’ll never be mine
I know one step closer would be heaven divine
Don’t let me cross over love’s cheating line

No-bod-y else will do since (While-2nd chorus) we’re a- part

I tried so hard to find some-one to ease my mind

But they-‘re just not my kind so used to lov-in’ you.

Dar-lin’ if you e-ver change you may still share my name
Don’t hang your head in shame if some mis-take you find
No-one lives a per-fect life so for-get your fool-ish pride
And put your fears a-side then come back to me.

I dream of the arms that held me so tight
I long for the home life I’m missing tonight
The mistakes I’ve made dear down through the years
And after so long dear I can’t hold my tears

Call me your sweetheart just one more time
In your next letter please want you be kind
If you only knew dear how I want you to be mine
Then you’d come back and try me just one more time

I dream of the arms that held me so tight
I long for the home life I’m missing tonight
The mistakes I’ve made dear down through the years
And after so long dear I can’t hold my tears

If your heart keeps on yearning for a love that’s not returning
If your dreams have all been shattered and your heart’s left cold and bare
Just a little affection from someone who cares
That’s just what started my new love affair

If your heart keeps on yearning for a love that’s not returning
If your dreams have all been shattered and your heart’s left cold and bare
Just a little affection from someone who cares
That’s just what started my new love affair
