Mickey Newbury Dizzy Lizzy Lyrics

Dizzy Lizzy
Do you remember
When Big Joe copped the night
That stole the show?

They say Clyde is back
But he's not a drifter
Without love
Good God where will he go?

Well, it's all right with me
If it's all right with you
'Cause I'm just a kid of seventeen
Rock and roll ain't nothing
But the blues with a beat

Dizzy Lizzy
Do you remember
How Johnny pledged his love to you and me?
Well he was not unlike this ofay ember
When they want blood someone's got to bleed

Ah but it's all right with me
If it's all right with you
'Cause I'm just a kid of seventeen And rock and roll ain't nothing
But the blues with a beat

Well, he stepped on the stage
The house went silent
King George the Fourth
Mocked someone from the crowd
Lizzy do they hear a word he's singing
Or is the music just too loud?

Well, it's all right with me
If it's all right with you
But I'm not a kid of seventeen
And rock and roll was nothing
But the blues with a beat

It's all right with me
If it's all right with you
'Cause I'm just a kid of seventeen
And rock and roll ain't nothing
But the blues with a beat
