John Lee Hooker Jump Chillun lyrics

I'm goin' away, baby
But I will be comin' back
I'm goin' away, baby
But I will be comin' back
I'm a man now, baby
An I sure can have my fun

My mama she told papa
Said the same
'Now that you're a man'
'You sure can have your fun'
Ohh, an I sure can have my fun

When I was laying down
I heard mama an papa, talkin'
I heard papa tell mama
'That boy's a man, now'
'Why hold him down?'

'Let him go have his fun'
An I hear them say it
I was layin' down thinkin' to myself
I over heard 'em


I felt so good
Went on boogie'n
Just the same

Jump chillun

Look a here now, baby
I'm twenty one, now
An I'm a man an I know

I can stay out all night long
'Til the break of day
No worry 'bout a thing
I can take care of myself
From now on in

Yes daddy
Yes daddy

An we will
Have some fun
