Rock A Billy Lyrics

Rock-A-Billy
Guy Mitchell
Written by Woody Harris and Eddie V.
Deane

Peaked at # 10 in 1957
This song title was the first hit to
give a name to the unique combination of rock &
country "hillbilly" music,
as represented by dozens of hits pioneered by Sam Phillips'
Memphis-based
Sun Records label in the mid-1950s.


CHORUS:
Rock-a-billy,
rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock
Rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock, rock,
rock
Rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock
Rock-a-billy,
rock-a-billy, rock, rock

Some people think it came from
Tennessee
Then spread on out to the lone prairie
It's the hillbilly rock,
feeddlee dee
Turns me inside out
Gimme some
CHORUS

Hey, grab
yourself a partner, lose the blues
Wear your store-bought clothes and your
stompin' shoes
Better head for the hills, gonna blow my fuse
Hooo, I'm
gonna shout
Gimme some
CHORUS

Since rock-a-billy swang the
do-si-do
And the gee-tar man chased the old banjo
Leave the hoe for the
crow, holler "Go, oh man, go"
Wiggle like a trout
Gimme
some

Rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock
Rock-a-billy,
rock-a-billy, rock, rock, rock
Rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy,
rock
Rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, hoo!, rock, rock


From the moment
I feel this crazy beat
Ya gotta lose control or you're two left feet
Give
me mountain juice, turn me loose
Leave me wave my arms about
Gimme
some
CHORUS

BRIDGE
Ya know what rock-a-billy's all about
Ya
know it's gonna make ya sing and shout
Ya know you're gonna act like a crazy
fool
Who cares? It's cool

Rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock, rock
