    Story Behind the Song
    I used to see these brave souls playing on the streets all over Chicago. I loved them. I was right off the bus from Kansas, but they let me jam, they showed me stuff. I hope to be as generous to all of the bright eyed kids that want me to show them stuff now that I'm one of the old boys

    Lyrics
    OLD BOYS BOOGIE
    w/m R. Miller 1971
    (originally recorded for Dog Ear Records, Chicago, IL, 1971)

    I've got a nickel
    you've got a dime
    we goin' down to the corner
    gonna here them old boys playin
    like they did in the olden days
    God lawd they're

    BR====
    reelin and rockin
    rollin it over slowly

    When them old boys get to playin
    they get control of me

    ==============
    CH
    I know that they're
    reelin and a rockin
    child... reelin and a rockin

    reelin and a rockin
    rollin til the break of dawn
    ========================

    2.
    Mamas and the children
    cop on the beat
    they know the actions out in the street
    when them old boys are playin
    caint understand what they're sayin
    but I know that they're...
    BR====
    reelin and rockin
    rollin it over slowly

    When them old boys get to playin
    they get control of me

    ==============
    CH
    I know that they're
    reelin and a rockin
    child... reelin and a rockin

    reelin and a rockin
    rollin til the break of dawn
    ========================
    3.
    Johnny played the mouth harp
    sweet and low
    Harry played the guitar good
    Freddy played the washboard
    twice as better than they said he could

    God lawd they're

    BR====
    reelin and rockin
    rollin it over slowly

    When them old boys get to playin
    they get control of me

    ==============
    CH
    I know that they're
    reelin and a rockin
    child... reelin and a rockin

    reelin and a rockin
    rollin til the break of dawn
    ========================
