It comes from Mis sis sip pi and down in Al a bam’, or it creep in’ like a fe ver on all a cross the land.

Just From deep in the del ta on the Lou’ si an a shore, the peo ple got to have it, they wan na hear some more.

It’s the (Eb7)hill bil ly rock, beat it with a drum, (Bb7)play in’ them gui tars like shoot in’ from a gun.

(Eb7)Keep in’ up the rhy thm, stead y as a clock, (F7)doin’ a lit tle thing called the hill bil ly (Bb7)rock.

So, Some say it came from Mem phis where down in Ten nes see, take a drift ed in from Geor gia on ’bout teen fif ty three.

Just as long as it’s greas y, run as long as it’s fast, woods, as long as it’s pump in’, as, hon ey, it’s gon na last.

It’s the (Eb7)hill bil ly rock, beat it with a drum, (Bb7)play in’ them gui tars like shoot in’ from a gun.

(Eb7)Keep in’ up the rhy thm, stead y as a clock, (F7)doin’ a lit tle thing called the hill bil ly (Bb7)rock.

So, when the

Way back (F7)Doin’ a lit tle thing called the hill bil ly (Bb7)rock.

(F7)Doin’ a lit tle thing called the hill bil ly (Bb7)rock.
