Jackson, Alan - W. Lee O'Daniel And The Light Crust Dough Boys Lyrics






As we listened to the Opera when I was just a kid
My daddy talked through Saturday's them crazy things he did
He said this is a story, how your Mamma first met me
And the going thing was Texas swing before Bob Will's was king

Was in the town of Tulsa about 30 years ago
At Cain's Academy down in old Oklahoma
Well the dust was blowing but the music was right
And W Lee O'Daniel played it all night

For The Light Crust Dough Boys and W. Lee O'Dan
We drove 80 miles through that blowing sand
My '37 Chevy was shootin' steam
Coming up them hill it just seized up on me

And I wouldn't miss a dance on Saturday night
We're all in the chevy's in that Detroit light
I can hear that music in my ears
I was ready to go and I was shifting them gears

So your mamma passed the biscuits and gave me her hand
Knew she was my honey and she knew I was her man
We listened to the fiddler he was making it sing
And heard them pretty notes of that guitar ring

I had no trouble, was feeling no pain
That moon shine whiskey and your mamma in my van
And The Light Crust Dough Boys and old Pappy Dan
Played us a song, we'll never forget

At the time they were tough and money was tight
But I didn't care on Saturday night
Had no money but I couldn't sing the blues
I felt like dancin' down in my shoes

Was in the town of Tulsa by 30 years ago
At Cain's Academy down in the old Oklahoma
When the dust was blowing but music was right
And W Lee o'Daniel played it all night
Yeah W Lee o'Daniel he played it all night

  36. J.... D....

    honey,I didn't know you had a1937 Chevy.

  37. T.... R....

    Hey boys! Don't you know that The Light Crust Doughboys are the originators of Western Swing music? Bob Wills started this band in 1930 to perform live radio commercials for the Burrus Mill Flour Company, but was fired by W. Lee (Pappy) O'Daniel because O'Daniel thought Wills' wild drinkin' lifestyle was improper to represent the flour company. O'Daniel went on to run on the platform of the 10 Commandments, and was elected Governor of Texas twice, and U.S. Senator (beating Lyndon B. Johnson for that seat). Bob Wills went on to form The Texas Playboys. And The Light Crust Doughboys are celebrating their 85th Anniversary this year (2015) and are still performing, recording, and "On The Air!" Alan Jackson celebrates one of the most important music traditions in Western music with this song commemorating the great history of The Light Crust Doughboys. The biggest state fair in the world, The State Fair of Texas, will honor The Light Crust Doughboys with a Dallas Historical Society exhibit in the beautiful Hall of State building, September 25-October 18, 2015, and the Doughboys will perform 40 live concerts on the Dr. Pepper Stage from October 11-18.

  38. B.... L....

    Doesn't quite sound like Alan, sounds more like David Alan Coe....

    B.... L....

    sounds nothing like David

    B.... L....

    Alan sounds a little different.Doesn't he?

    B.... L....

    BUT the man sounds great.

  39. T.... ....

    Wait a minute, the dude was driving a worn out '37 Chevy BEFORE Bob was king? 'Couldn't have been LONG before.

  40. D.... R....

    This song was done a very long time ago by James Talley. Not sure if he wrote it, but look for his other songs.

    D.... R....

    Is that so?
