Foghat - Chateau Lafitte '59 Boogie Lyrics






Oh what a night, sure had a real good time,
Oh what a night, sure had a real good time,
You drink whiskey, I'll drink cheap red wine.

My head started spinnin', eyes began to roll,
My head started spinnin', eyes began to roll,
Crazy fool, shoulda listened to what I've been told.

But I'm rollin', all night long - Rollin', all night long,
Rollin', all night long - Just another drink and I'll be gone, gone, gone.

Look at old Charlie, standin' by a dollar bill,
Look at old Charlie, standin' by a dollar bill, mm hmm,
It may look good, but it sure ain't no cheap thrill.

So I'm rollin', all night long, Rollin', all night long,
Rollin', all night long, Just another drink and I'll be gone, gone, gone.
Well I'm gone!

[Rod - Slide Solo]
Whoo!

My head started spinnin', eyes began to roll,
My head started spinnin', eyes began to roll, shouldn't do that, shouldn't do that,
Crazy fool, I drank too much alcohol. That's alright!

Yes I'm rollin', all night long, Rollin', all night long,
Rollin', all night long, One more drink and I'll be gone, oh, gone, gone.
Yeah!

[Rod - Slide Solo]
Whoo! Rollin'! Whoo! Alright! John Lee Hooker!

Yea, I got drunk last night and the night before,
If I get me some wine, gonna get drunk some more.
I been rollin', rollin', rollin', all night long.
I said all night, all night, all night, all night,
Mmm ah hmm, rollin' all night long, yea! Whoo!

Oh what a night, sure had a real good time,
Oh what a night, sure had a real good time,
You drink your whiskey, I'll drink my red wine. Yeah.

Well I'm rollin', all night long, Rollin', all night long, rollin', all night long
Just another drink and I'll be gone, gone, gone, gone
Whoa I'm gone!

Yea-ee-yea!, woo, woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

  1. J.... K....

    Slow Ride was a great song with legendary bass guitar
    But
    This whole album , every song, dwarfs the passion of this somewhat unknown treasure of an album

  2. J.... S....

    I'm 63 one more and I'll be gone alright.

  3. J.... S....

    Boogie children saw them in Charlotte nc in the70s. I'm 63 still jamming to the Hat

  4. T.... U....

    Rollin all night long.

  5. T.... U....

    Oh what a night, sure had a real good time.

  6. r.... r....

    Nobody ever did or will lay down a better shuffle boogie than this. fucking epic.

    Rod Price, legend of the slide guitar. RIP Mr. Price.

  15. J.... R....

    Every working mans Monday morning song!!!!!!!

  16. d.... f....

    I always considered "Never Been Any Reason" by Head East to be the GREATEST song in the history of R & R. Then I heard this on XM "Deep Tracks". THEN I saw the current iteration of the band play this live last month and I've selected a new #1! BTW, go see them--in mourning the loss of Lonesome Dave/Rod Price you might miss the fact that their replacements are fabulous and that their show kicks ass and takes names! One of my top five shows EVER (a list that started in 1969 with Spirit).

  17. G.... K....

    NOT a good feeling people! Just gets you SICK as a dog! DESTROYS LIVES! My advice ,stay away from the stuff!(bildge water).

  18. s.... c....

    Crank this mother fucker up , hard core

  19. s.... ....

    At 3:15 starts to sound like ZZ Top song La Grange

  20. A.... C....

    Would it kill ya to play a little Foghat?!

    A.... C....

    Jim Carrey (aka Jim Morrison) 1999 MTV Movie Awards. And I agree, that piece of shit channel should be playing some Foghat right now.

  21. t.... ....

    This song absolutely smokes! Foghat took no prisoners!

  22. M.... H....

    I first heard this song on the movie , Truth or Consequence New Mexico . I knew it was Foghat just didn't know the name of the song. Now I know the name and I haven't stop listening to it. ....................

  23. f.... ....

    Crank it up to "11"!!!!!!  Lonesome Dave at his best!!!!!!

  24. K.... U....

    Much better than Slow Ride.
    Fuk radio for not playing this awesome jam😎😎👍👍

  26. s.... ....

    And my kids might never know, rolling

  27. R.... J....

    I love Foghat but is it me or does the guitar riff at 3:20 sound like La Grange by ZZ Top? and does Honey Hush sound like Train Kept a Rollin' by Areosmith?

    R.... J....

    Nope..they are just your typical classic blues riffs...some are more similar than others...it's the blues....

  28. K.... U....

    Just another drink and I'll be gone!!!

  29. R.... S....

    some pre slow ride, slow ride groove. love it.

  30. b.... p....

    Best slide ever? I think so TxMex

    b.... p....

    He was the "Magician" of slide. I listen to a lot of different styles of music and have heard alot of slides. Price was the best. He even convinced me to get an electric guitar and a slide. To Price, thanks sensei!!!

    Yelp ! I was 10 yrs. old . And I was Rocking and Rolling , and I'm still going ..........

    B.... R....

    I was 15 -- perfect age. Didn't drink a drop of alcohol in high school, but this kind of stuff gave my friends and me the real charge we needed until we were old enough for the girls to notice us back. Now I'm almost 60 and it still sounds good. Got together with the garage band buddies last weekend (same friends).

  41. k.... b....

    The "ALRIGHT" at 3:16 always impressed me. Have wondered if it was for what had been played, or what was to follow.

    k.... b....

    Both😎

  42. D.... W....

    please play this song at my funeral cuz i loved it when i was awake!!!!!

    D.... W....

    You'll be rolling all night long. Just another drink and you'll be gone.

  43. g.... ....

    Oh yeah big Al!!! WOW!!! I was a kid hangin' with adults when I first heard this song in bout 76 or so. My favorite Foghat song by far, thanks for postin' it up!

  44. A.... D....

    Jammin tune! Many guitarists have been influenced by Rod Price's ass kickin slide guitar.

    A.... D....

    Day of the eagle

  45. V.... V....

    Kiefer Sutherland likes this song.

    V.... V....

    +Vince Vega Everybody who plays the game knows the rules.  The job of the good guys is to catch the bad guys.  My job as a bad guy is to not get caught.
