Juke Joint Johnny Lyrics

Well, I called my baby and I told her to be
Down at the juke joint a-waitin' for me
'Cause I'm a juke joint Johnny
I know every joint in town
I'm a juke joint Johnny
And I'm always jukin' around

Now, I work all weekend and I draw my pay
I hit a juke joint and I throw it all away
'Cause I'm a juke joint Johnny
I guess I'll always be
I'm a juke joint Johnny
And a juke joint is home to me

Now I can dance all night to a juke joint song
When the sun comes up I'm still goin' strong
'Cause I'm a juke joint Johnny
Yeah, now watch me go
I'm a juke joint Johnny
And baby, you're steppin' slow

These lonesome blues don't bother me none
'Cause I know every gal that wants to have fun
'Cause I'm a juke joint Johnny
There ain't no flies on me
I'm a juke joint Johnny
And a juke joint is where I'll be

Well, I told my gal I just couldn't stay
She wants to marry, but I wants to play
'Cause I'm a juke joint Johnny
I like to go all the time
I'm a juke joint Johnny
And I juke on down the line

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
