buddy guy - thank me someday lyrics
down in louisiana
on a cotton plantation
little tent room shack
and a third grade education
two stringed wood guitar
i taught myself how to play, yes, i did
kept the whole family up all night
and i told them that you’ll all thank me one day
yes, i did
my sister would scream
“boy, you just got to stop
you’re waking up the whole family
everybody is going to be hot”
two stringed wood guitar
and i sure enough taught myself how to play
she said, “turn it down, buddy”
i said, “shut up, you’re gonna thank me someday”
you’re gonna thank me one day
did you hear what i said?
that was sixty years ago
now my mom and dad is gone
i go see my sisters and brothers
and the grand-kids come along
i give the little ones my guitar
i tell ’em, “close your eyes and play
don’t even worry about the neighbors
y’all gonna thank me someday”
down in louisiana
on a cotton plantation
a little tent room shack
and i only got a third grade education
that’s why i taught myself
i’m telling you that’s why i taught myself
how to play, yes, i did
i kept my family up all night
and now they’re thanking me everyday
oh yeah, they’re thanking me everyday
