Hey little girl with your ruby red lips
You look so cute with your hands on your hips
I know a place on the edge of town
They play blues music when the sun goes down
They call that place the Sugar Shack
Slip through the bar to a room out the back
It’s on the wrong side of the railroad tracks
A crazy little joint where we can relax
They got dobro steel and a white double bass
A big black bouncer with a smile on his face
Down in the swamp where the horny owl hoots,
That’s where I get my blues and roots (...music that is!)
Chorus:
Two old coots, dressed in suits, playing blues and roots,
Never goin’ out of fashion (Blues & Roots Music, Blues & Roots)
Got a good beat, make you tap your feet,
Blues and Roots Music
Got authentic style - by a country mile
Sugar Shack bar-flies playing blues and roots music
That’s my passion …….I don’t give two hoots
Just got to get my blues and roots (music)
Take you driving in my pink Cadillac
It’s got white wall wheels and a tele in the back
At the Sugar Shack Bar you’ll never feel blue
We’re gonna shimmy, gonna boogie boogaloo
I got a cowboy shirt and snakeskin boots
All I need now is blues and roots (music that is...)
I’m a simple man and I feel desire
Rootsy music gonna take you higher
And when we stumble back to my hotel room
I’m gonna show you how to boom, boom, boom
We’ll get together girl, in cahoots
I’m gonna teach you ‘bout blues and roots (...music that is)
Two old coots, dressed in suits, playing blues and roots
Never goin’ out of fashion (Blues & Roots Music, Blues & Roots)
Got a good beat, make you tap your feet,
Blues and Roots Music
Got authentic style - by a country mile
Sugar Shack bar-flies playing blues and roots music
That’s my passion …….I don’t give two hoots
Just got to get my blues and roots (...music)
