Jerry Lee Lewis - Down The Line Lyrics






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

Jerry Lee Lewis Down The Line Comments
  1. m.... ....

    I wonder if it was Jerry Lee change Roy's version and got rid of the "Go,Go, Go!" phrase.

  2. t.... p....

    I found this 45 in a good will store .

  3. i.... a....

    hell yea

  4. E.... ....

    Issued by Sun originally as the flip to "Breathless" - a song that JLL never really cared for and he campaigned long and hard to get "Down The Line" elevated. The compromise was that the record was ultimately promoted by Sun as a double A side! As said elsewhere Jerry still opens his show with "Down The Line" to this day. You rarely, if ever hear him do "Breathless" on stage!

  5. M.... B....

    Jerry Lee's talent eclipsed the other Sun artists, including Elvis.

  6. A.... Y....

    This song was written by Roy Orbison!

    A.... Y....

    So who played rockabilly piano then, and what was the influence?

    A.... Y....

    ...And Roy Orbison asked Jerry Lee Lewis to record this version, so he did. Quite different from Roy's original, and JJL still opens with this tune to this day!

    A.... Y....

    yea thats a fact Rip roy orbison and the killa

    A.... Y....

    @im annonymous I'd say that news of the death of The Killer have been greatly exagerated...

  7. G.... K....

    One of the greatest records ever made and Jerry is still performing it to this day.

    G.... K....

    YES, he opens his concerts with this tune!

    PERLA di Jerry Lee Lewis
