Jerry Lee Lewis - The Killer Rocks On

Lovin Up a Storm

When our kisses fly like oak leaves
Caught in a gust of wind
My heart beats fast as a clickty-clack
Like a train goin' round a bend

I call that Lovin' Up a Storm!
I said that's Lovin Up a Storm!
Well its good for you honey
It won't do you no harm

When a we get with it darlin'
All I can hear is a sigh
Something touches you deep in your heart
Like it's lightin' from the sky

I call that Lovin' Up a Storm!
Whoaa Lovin Up a Storm!
Well its good for you baby
It won't do you no harm

When we're embracing darlin'
I get wild as a hurricane
And when we kiss Great Balls of Fire!
Ice-water's running through my veins

I call that Lovin' Up a Storm!
Ohhh Lovin Up a Storm!
Well its good for you baby
It won't do you no harm

Well it's good for you baby
It won't do you no harm
Oh... It's good for you baby
It won't do you no harm

Big Blon Baby

Wailin' on the corner like an ol' tomcat shoutin' and a shakin' almost all my fat
Who walks by me oh my jumpin' jeshosaphat big blon' baby
Yesterday she kissed me she was so divine
Fell right down and begged her to be mine all mine
Held her tight ooh good night jumpin' jeshosaphat big blon' baby
Big blon' baby ooh glory be here I go big blon' baby
Now I know I love her so
I shiver and I quiver when she kisses me
Squeezes til I holler the gosh oh gee
Held her tight good night jumpin' jeshosaphat big blon' baby

Down The Line

Well, you can't be my lovin' baby
You ain't got the style
I'm a-gonna get some real gone love
That'll drive a cool cat wild
I wanna move, move on down the line
Gonna get me a gal, then I go out on the town
Well, I wanna move on down the line
I'm gonna get me a gal, make some time
She can't be square, she can't be slow
And when she starts a-struttin' she's gotta go
I'm gonna move, move on down the line
Well, I'm in love, have been all the time

Yeah, I'm gonna show you ain't so hot
I'm gonna get what you ain't got
She'll be sweet, won't do me wrong
She'll be cool and twice as gone
We're gonna roll on, roll on down the line
I'm gonna get some love, lovin' that's truly fine
Well, I wanna move on down the line
I'm gonna get some lovin, truly fine
A love that'll be twice as gone
And when she starts a-struttin' she's gotta go
I wanna move on, move on down the line
Well, I'm gonna do right, do right all the time
I'm gonna do right, do right all the time

It'll Be Me

If you hear somebody knockin' on your door
If you see something crawlin' across the floor
Baby, it'll be me, and I'll be lookin' for you

If you see a head a-peepin' from a crawdad hole
If you see somebody climbin' up a telephone pole
Baby, it'll be me, and I'll be lookin' for you

Gonna look on the mountains and in the deep blue sea
Gonna search all the forests and look in every tree

Well, if you feel somethin' heavy on your fishing hook
If you see a funny face in your comic book
Baby, it'll be me, and I'll be lookin' for you

If you hear a voice a-callin' out in the night
If you see somebody hangin' from a lamppost bright
Baby, it'll be me, and I'll be lookin' for you

If you see somebody lookin' in all the cars
If you see a rocketship on its way to Mars
Baby, it'll be me, and I'll be lookin' for you

Gonna look in the city where the lights are blue
Gonna search the countryside, all the haystacks, too

Well, if you see a new face on a totem pole
If you find a lump in your sugar bowl
Baby, it'll be me, and I'll be lookin' for you

Fools Like Me

Everybody tells me love is blind maybe so cause I refuse to see
Everybody tells me things you do but I don't care cause I'm a fool for you
It doesn't really matter what you are it only matters what you are to me
Maybe I'm not wise enough to see but where would love be without fools like me

Maybe lovin' you is not so smart and maybe in the end you'll break my heart
I really shouldn't love you but I do and I can't stop cause I'm a fool for you
I only hope this kind of love is real cause I can't ever change the way I feel
Maybe baby I'm not wise enough to see but where would love be without fools like me

Drinkin Wine Spo-dee-o-dee

Down in New Orleans where everything's fine all them cats is drinkin' that wine
Drinkin' that mess is their delight when they get drunk start singin' all night
Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee drinkin' wine wine spo-dee-o-dee drinkin' wine
Wine spo-dee-o-dee drinkin' wine pass that bottle to me

Now I've got a nickel have you got a dime let's get together and get a little wine
Some buys a gallon some buys a quart
When you buy black beer now you're doin' things smart
Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee...
[ piano ]
Down on Rempart Street in Willie's den he would sell but a gill of gin
One cat wanted a bottle of wine he hooked that cat for a dollar and a dime
Drinkin' wine spo-dee-o-dee...

Put Me Down


Well, I'm shakin' and I'm nervous all over
And I don't mind tellin' you why
I lost my breath I'm scared half to death
That my baby gonna say goodbye
It's all over town, my baby put me down

Seasons Of My Heart


Seasons come seasons go we get a little sunshine rain and snow
Just the way that it was planned to be
But there's no seasons in my heart while you play the leading part
But I guess what is to be my dear will be
Your leaving will bring autumn sorrow
and my tears like withered leaves shall fall
Though may bring some glad tomorrow
You know darling we might have been happy after all

Your leaving will bring autumn sorrow
and my tears like withered leaves shall fall
Though may bring some glad tomorrow
You know darling we might have been happy after all

Thirty Nine and Holding


He's out there somewhere everynight where the music's playing loud
Doing all the 50's steps in a 1980 crowd
The dim lights hide his milage lines
The clairol hides the gray
And he won't mention anything that gives his age away

Oh, he's thirty nine and holding
Holding everything he can
From 17 to 25 to prove he's still a man
He's holding a candle and it's burning at both ends
He's thirty nine and holding
Holding everything he can

You can bet he'll never see 39 again
He should have turned loose long ago
But still, he's a hanging it in
He still thinks that he's the man that he used to be
He's thirty nine and holding and acting 23

Oh, he's thirty nine and holding
Holding everything he can
From 17 to 25 to prove he's still a man
He's holding a candle, my GOD!
It's burning at both ends
He's thirty nine and holding
Holding everything he can

Great stuff Edgar. I enjoy playing the Jerry Lee tunes with my band. And his cousin Mickey Gilley is a great piano banger too. Listen to "Don't The Girls All Get Prettier At Closing Time"

I remember seeing some news reels of The Killer as a young man. He was absolutely scary.

Who Will The Next Fool Be


When you get rid of me,
Who will the next fool be,
I know, I know, I know, I know,
There's things I gotta know 'bout the woman I love so

After all is said and done,
You won't be satisfied with anyone,
So, when you get rid of me,
Who will the next fool be

Will he believe, all those lies,
End up like me with tears in his eyes
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
There's things I gotta know 'bout the woman I love so

After all is said and done,
You wouldn't be satisfied with anyone
So when you get through playin' with me,
Who will the next fool be

Will he believe, all those lies,
End up like me with tears in his eyes
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
There's things I gotta know 'bout the woman I love so

After all is said and done,
You wouldn't be satisfied with anyone,
When you get rid of me,
Who will the next fool be

That's a great blues tune. I have it by the Amazing Rhythm Aces

It was written about 1957 by Charlie Rich.

And I have his version too. I love to play Charlie's tunes. He was a very soulful country pianist.
Behind Closed Doors packs the dance floor.

I loved Charlie all of my adult life. Not many people know, but the head of Sun records put Charlie behind the piano on two of Jerry Lee Lewis's records. Once you know this, you start to realize how different the styles are on those songs.

Charlie played more Ray Charles style and he imitated Floyd Cramer well.

I have a complete collection of all of Jerry Lee's Sun recordings. You would be surprised how versatile he is on all instrumental songs.

Another Place, Another Time

One by one they're turning out the lights
I've been feedin' that ol' jukebox just to hold you tight
I guess its for the best I just put in my last dime
I heard you whisper "We'll meet again, another place, another time"

Chairs are stacked all over tables and its closing time they say
I could wait right here forever if they'd only let me stay
Anywhere would be much better than that ol' lonley room of mine
And the sleepless night a waitin' for
Another place, Another time

Won't that room of mine be a lonely place to be
After I've been holding you so close to me
Won't that old stairway be a little hard to climb
To a lonely room to wait for another place, another time

Won't that old stairway be a little hard to climb
To a lonely room to wait for
Another Place, Another Time
