------> Capo 1 <-------
A
There's a man in New Orleans who plays rock and roll
A
He's a guitar man with a great big soul
A
And he lays down a beat like a ton of coal
A
He goes by the name of King Creole
D
You know he's gone, gone, gone
A
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
E
You know he's gone, gone, gone
D A
And hip shaking King Creole
A
When the King starts to do it it's as good as done
A
He holds his guitar like a tommy gun
A
He starts to growl from way down in his throat
A
He bends a string and that's all she wrote
D
You know he's gone, gone, gone
A
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
E
You know he's gone, gone, gone
D A
And hip shaking King Creole
A
He sings a song about a crawdad hole
A
He sings a song about a jelly roll
A
He sings a song about pork and greens
A
He sings some blues about New Orleans
D
You know he's gone, gone, gone
A
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
E
You know he's gone, gone, gone
D A
And hip shaking King Creole
A
He plays something evil then he plays something sweet
A
No matter how he plays you got to get up on your feet
A
And when he gets the rockin' fever baby, heaven sakes
A
He don't stop playin' 'til his guitar breaks
D
You know he's gone, gone, gone
A
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
E
You know he's gone, gone, gone
D A
And hip shaking King Creole
E
You know he's gone, gone, gone
D A
Hip shaking King Creole
