TENNESSEE ROCK AND ROLL
(Gold - Glaser - Triani)
BOYD BENNETT AND HIS ROCKETS (KING 45-1475, 1955)
(Vocal by Big Moe)

It started with the Chattanooga Shoeshine Boy
Made the country romp and stomp with joy
Even the Tennessee Waltz is a rockin' too
So is well known Chattanooga Choo Choo
They all rock, roll, rock and roll, Tennessee rock and roll
Rock, roll, rock and roll, Tennessee rock and roll
Gotta keep rockin' to save my doggone soul

Folks back home don't do-si-do no more
Nothing like the way it was before
Even Minnie Pearl and Grandpa Jones
Are shakin', rattlin', rollin' all their bones
They all rock, roll, rock and roll, Tennessee rock and roll
Rock, roll, rock and roll, Tennessee rock and roll
Gotta keep rockin' to save my doggone soul

Hold me, hold me, hold me, rock-rock-rock
Take you love and high ride out of hock
Don't be bashful baby, come to me
They ain't bashful in Nashville Tennessee
So is well known Chattanooga Choo Choo
They all rock, roll, rock and roll, Tennessee rock and roll
Rock, roll, rock and roll, Tennessee rock and roll
Gotta keep rockin' to save my doggone soul
