Little Jimmy Dickens Hillbilly Fever Lyrics

Hillbilly Fever Lyrics

When you walk up to a juke box and you slip a nickel in,

You bet your bottom dollar when that record starts to spin

You'll hear a fiddle and a gittar with a honky tonkin' sound

It's hillbilly fever and it's speadin' all around.



Hillbilly fever's goin' ‘round

Good ol' mountain music's got me down.

It's got me robbin' castles, throwin' rice and slippin' around.

Hillbilly fever's got me down.



When you git that jumpy feelin' and you don't know what is wrong

Don't you worry about bother there's a brand new mountain song

That's got the whole durn country rockin' with that big gavel beat

It's the hillbilly breakdown that shakes you off a your feet



Hillbilly fever's goin' ‘round

Good ol' mountain music's got me down.

I spent a Sunday down in Tennessee and here's what I found

Hillbilly fever's goin' ‘round



When that love bug comes around you and you don't know you been stung

And you go and see a doctor and he says poke out your tongue

And he looks into that canyon, tells you brother I got news

You're the victim of sweet buddy and you got the love sick blues



Hillbilly fever's goin' ‘round

Good ol' mountain music's got me down.

I'm  gonna one foot, two foot sweet foot drag then I hold you down

Hillbilly fever's goin' ‘round
