The
Tulsa Shuffle (revisited)
Steve
Ripley
Back
before the Beatles...back before Elvis...
Back when hank was just learnin' how to sing
Tulsa was dancin' to bob and Johnnie Lee Wills
And a thing they call western swing
There's somethin' in the water...somethin'
in the blood...
Somethin' 'bout the way the wind blows
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that
swing
And this am the way it goes...
Up north in Chicago...you('ve) got your authentic
blues bands
And way down yonder in New Orleans...
They got a thing they call Dixieland
All around this whole wide world...
There's one thing that everybody knows
All God's children love the Tulsa shuffle...
And this am the way it goes
I've been up--I've been down--headed straight--turned
around
I've been up a tree...and out on a limb
Amused--abused--enlightened and confused
I've been lost and I've been born again
Through it all...when it's all said and done
There's one thing that everybody knows
There ain't nothin' does it like the Tulsa
shuffle
And this am the way it goes
