I was born in a shack in West Tennessee 

I picked that cotton down upon my knees 

The sun got hotter each and every day 

But me and my brothers kept a-pickin' away 

Seemed like the sun would never go down 

So we could clap our hands and gather around 

And do the boogie (boogie) 

Yeah, I learned the rhythm (boogie woogie rhythm) 

And it wasn't very long 

Till I was doin' the boogie woogie rhythm 

Well, I prayed all week for Saturday night 

Turn my back on the sun and put the sack out of sight 

Take the long dusty road into town 

My feet kept the rhythm as I walked the hot ground 

But nothing could keep me from my favourite spot 

Where the chicks were a-waitin' and the music was hot 

Born to boogie (boogie) 

Lord, I got the rhythm (boogie woogie rhythm) 

And it wasn't very long 

Till I done the boogie woogie rhythm 

(Like this I did the boogie) 

Well, Monday morning was always bad 

But it was worth it all for the time I had 

Lord oh Lordy, how I wish it would rain 

Just the sun have mercy on a country boy's pain 

But I make believe everything's all right 

Gonna do it again come Saturday night 

I do the boogie (boogie) 

Yeah-yeah, with lots of rhythm (boogie woogie rhythm) 

Lord, I learned to move by doin' that boogie woogie rhythm 

Born to boogie, yeah 

Born to boogie, yeah, full of rhythm 

Born to boogie, yeah, one more time
