Hillbilly Rock

It comes from Mississippi, and down in Alabama 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 about 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 a something goin' on It's a 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
