Hillbilly Rock

It comes from Mississippi

And down in Alabam'

Creepin' like a fever

All across the land

From deep in the Delta

On the Louisiana shore

The people got to have it

They wanna hear some more

It's the hillbilly rock

Beat it with a drum

Playin' them guitars

Like shootin' from a gun

Keepin' up the rhythm

Steady as a clock

Doin' a little thing

Called the hillbilly rock

Some say it came from Memphis

Down in Tennessee

Or it drifted in from Georgia

'Bout 1953

Just as long as it's greasy

As long as it's fast

As long as it's pumpin', honey

It's gonna last

It's the hillbilly rock

Beat it with a drum

Playin' them guitars

Like shootin' from a gun

Keepin' up the rhythm

Steady as a clock

Doin' a little thing

Called the hillbilly rock

Way back in old Kentucky

Where the bluegrass grows

Through the Carolinas

On them dirt red roads

Burnin' like a fire

Runnin' wild in the woods

From Arkansas to Texas

It sounds so good

It's the hillbilly rock

Beat it with a drum

Playin' them guitars

Like shootin' from a gun

Keepin' up the rhythm

Steady as a clock

Doin' a little thing

Called the hillbilly rock

So when the heat starts to risin'

And you gotta blow some steam

Take a ride down the river

You'll see just what I mean

The juke joint's jumpin'

When that cat goes on

The whole place is shakin'

There's somethin' goin' on

It's the hillbilly rock

Beat it with a drum

Playin' them guitars

Like shootin' from a gun

Keepin' up the rhythm

Steady as a clock

Doin' a little thing

Called the hillbilly rock

Doin' a little thing

Called the hillbilly rock

Doin' a little thing

Called the hillbilly rock
