lyrics

When Boogie Danced
©Jerry Axson

When Boogie danced –
he owned the floor,
there weren’t no better,
from shore to shore,
they sang his praise –
to the Heaven’s on high,
a living legend,
no one could deny…

He danced the “two-step”,
the “Electric slide”,
up and down that seaboard –
on the Eastern side,
he shook the paint,
off them window sills,
that ain’t too bad,
coming from “saw-mill hill”…

And Oh -
what a tangled web we weave,
when even poor white trash
start to believe…

He met a woman,
she was a wild eyed rose,
she loved to Boogie –
from his head to his toes,
and just like a rose,
she had her some thorns,
and poor ole’ Boogie,
wished he was never born…

She lost her mind,
and he lost a leg,
now no more Boogie,
he just lays in bed,
and dreams of a time,
when he took the floor,
but Boogie B.,
he don’t dance no more…

And Oh, Oh, Oh -
what a tangled web we weave,
when even poor white trash
start to believe…like you and me…

about

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
