How I Love Them Old Songs (rec. 1970) Lyrics - Gene Vincent

Doggone my soul, how I love them old songs 

Oh, they were a comfort to me when I was alone 

The dancing stops, but the music she goes on 

Doggone my soul, how I love rock and roll, hey 

And when I hear that double-eagle guitar 

Makes me think of Carl Parkins when he was a star 

Makes me think I'll spend of my nights in a bar 

Playin' that old juke box until the honky tonk's locked up 

And doggone my soul, they won't leave me alone 

Oh, keeps reminding me when I was so far from home 

Oh, those heartbreakin', edgemakin' country songs 

That take me back to hardwood floors

The dancing stops, but the music she goes on

Doggone my soul, how I love rock and roll 

Oh, the dancing's over, but the music she goes on 

Doggone my soul, how I love rock and roll 

The dancing stops, but the music she goes on 

Doggone my soul, how I love rock and roll 

The dancing's over, but the music she goes on 

Doggone my soul, how I love rock and roll
