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' the guitars
Like shootin'
From a gun
Keeping 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' the guitars
Like shootin'
From a gun
Keeping up
The rhythm
Steady as a clock
Doin' a little thing
Called the
Hillbilly Rock
Way back in
Old Kentucky where
The blue grass grows
Through the Carolinas
On the 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' the guitars
Like shootin'
From a gun
Keeping 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 just
Somethin' goin on
It's the Hillbilly Rock
Beat it with a drum
Playin' the guitars
Like shootin'
From a gun
Keeping 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
