Fats Domino · Other Songs - Fats Domino
Three nights a week, that's too long
You know you're doin me wrong
Baby won't you please stay home.
I call you on the phone
Pretendin you were home
Although I knew you were gone,
Baby won't you please stay home.
When you're gone I'm such a lonely man
When you're gone, my heart doesn't beat the same
Three nights a week, you're gone,
Three nights a week, that's too long
Three nights a week, I'm alone
Baby won't you please stay home.
Three Nights A Week
Fats Domino's "Three Nights A Week" stands as a quintessential example of rock and roll's early fusion of rhythm and blues and gospel influences. Recorded in the mid-1950s, the track features Domino's signature percussive guitar style and a driving backbeat that defined the genre's sound. The song's repetitive, hypnotic structure and its call-and-response vocal delivery created an infectious energy that resonated with audiences across the United States and internationally. As one of the many hits that propelled Domino to stardom, the recording captures the raw excitement of the era, showcasing his ability to blend traditional blues phrasing with the emerging rock attitude. It remains a staple in collections of classic rock and roll, illustrating the pivotal role of New Orleans artists in shaping the national sound.
