It comes from Mississippi and down in Alabam,
Creepin' like a fever, all across the land.
Its 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.
Verse 2
Some say it came from Memphis, down in Tennessee,
Or it drifted in from Georgia about 1953.
INSTRUMENTAL
Verse 3
Way back in old Kentucky where the bluegrass grows,
Through the Carolinas on them dirt red roads.
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.
Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock.
Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock.
