Stuart Marty - Hillbilly Rock lyrics

rate me

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' 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 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

Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock

Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock
