G
It comes from Mississippi and down in Alabam
 
Creeping 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
 
       C
It's a Hillbilly Rock beat it with a drum
G
Playing that guitar like shooting from a gun
C
Keeping up the rhythm steady as a clock
D7                                        G
Doing a little thing called the Hillbilly Rock
 
Some say it came from Elvis down in Tennessee
Or It drifted here from Georgia bout 1953
Just as long as it's greasy as long as it's fast
As long as it's pumping honey it's gonna last
 
Repeat #2 
 
Way back in ole Kentucky where the blue grass grows
Through the Carolinas on the dirt red roads
Burning like a fire running wild in the woods
From Arkansas to Texas it sounds so good 
 
Repeat #2
 
So when the heat starts to rise and you got a full head of steam
Take a ride down the river and you'll see just what I mean
The juke joint's jumping when that cat goes on
The whole place is shaking there's something going on 
 
Repeat #2
