King Re-o
There's a man in New Orleans who plays the rock and roll
He's a good old man with a great big soul
He lays down the beat like a Don McCole
He goes by the name of King Re-o
You know he's gone gone gone
Jumping like a cow, just trying to pull
Yeah,
you know he's gone gone gone
And he had to shake a King Re-o
When the King starts to do it,
it's as good as done
He holds his kid all like a Tommy gun He
starts to growl from way down in his throat
He bends a string and that's all she
wrote She knows he's gone gone gone
Bumping like a catfish on a pole
You know he's gone gone gone And he had to shake a King Re-o
He
sings a song about a crowded home He sings a song about a jelly roll
He sings a song about a poor convince
He wails on blues by the New Orleans
You know he's gone gone gone Bumping like a catfish on a pole
Yeah,
you know he's gone gone gone And he had to shake a King Re-o
Mmm, yeah!
He plays something evil,
then he plays something sweet
Don't matter how he plays,
he better get up on your feet
When he gets to rockin' people,
baby,
heaven sakes
He don't stop playing till his guitar breaks
You know he's gone gone gone Bumping like a catfish on a pole
Yeah,
you know he's gone gone gone And he had to shake a King Re-o
You know he's gone gone gone And he had to shake a King Re-o
Re-o, Re-o, Re-o, Re-o
