We were rolling down King Street a quarter to twelve |
|
When we found a little corner to play |
|
So we plugged in our guitars and tightened our drums |
|
And hollered out, "Hey, hey, hey" |
|
When this old hillbilly with a cheek full of chaw |
|
Rambled on over to our tip jar |
|
He said I like what I see but it's not like I saw |
|
Way back in old Doc's day |
|
He said if you wanna rock, listen to Doc |
|
If you want the girls better pick like Merle |
|
Cause them High Country blues |
|
Still blow all the women away |
|
So beat on the corner with your flat top box |
|
Pick on the banjo, boys don't stop |
|
Give me old-time music, Lord make it hot |
|
Just like it was in Doc's day |
|
Well that old hillbilly he tugged on his whiskers |
|
And spat a little juice from his jaw |
|
He said back in Deep Gap I'm telling you mister |
|
We'd be rocking from dusk to dawn |
|
Singing Mama Don't 'Low and Bottle Of Wine |
|
Dark As A Dungeon Way Down In The Mine |
|
If you can do like that, boys, I'll throw you a dime |
|
Just like in old Doc's day |
|
If you wanna rock, listen to Doc |
|
If you want the girls better pick like Merle |
|
Cause them High Country blues |
|
Still blow all the women away |
|
So beat on the corner with your flat top box |
|
Pick on the banjo, boys don't stop |
|
Give me old-time music, Lord make it hot |
|
Just like it was in Doc's day |
|
So we sold our amps and pawned our drums |
|
Now we're picking like a couple of native sons |
|
And that old hillbilly he's sure buck dancing away |
|
Lord the crowd's all packed in at Cherry and King |
|
Leaning in close to hear the banjo ring |
|
And everybody raises their voice to sing |
|
Just like in old Doc's day |
|
If you wanna rock, listen to Doc |
|
If you want the girls better pick like Merle |
|
Cause them High Country blues |
|
Still blow all the women away |
|
So beat on the corner with your flat top box |
|
Pick on the banjo, boys don't stop |
|
Give me old-time music, Lord make it hot |
|
Just like it was in Doc's day |
|
Give me old-time music, Lord make it hot |
|
Just like it was in Doc's day |
