##There's a man in New Orleans who plays rock and roll#He lays down a beat like a ton of coal#You know he's [D]gone, gone, gone


Jumpin' like a catfish on a [A]pole


You know he's [E7]gone, gone, gone


[D]Hip shaking King Cre[A]ole


Verse 2: (all A)


When the king starts to do it it's as good as done


He holds his guitar like a tommy gun


He starts to growl from way down his throat


He bends a string and that's all she wrote


CHORUS


Verse 3: (all A)


Well, he sings a song about a crawdad hole


He sings a song about a jelly roll


He sings a song about a pork and greens


He sings some blues about New Orleans


CHORUS


Instrumental: A  D A E7 D A


Verse 4: (all A)


Well he plays something evil then he plays something sweet


No matter how he plays you got to get up on your feet


When he gets the rockin' fever baby heaven sakes


He don't stop playin' til his guitar breaks


CHORUS


You know he's [E7]gone, gone, gone


[D]Hip shaking King Cre[A]ole
