Settin' on the cotton road,
tryin' to do the rock and roll
Everybody's steppin' high but me
Gonna get from behind
this old gray mare
Catch me a train and go somewhere
Go and learn to do the
rock and roll
Mom in the kitchen a -cookin' beans
Papa chewed the musket
I'm so tired of
looking at this field,
boy, I'm so disgusted.
My little girl, bless her soul,
she's out doing the rock
and roll.
Everybody's stepping high
but me.
I'm so mad, I ain't going nowhere,
I'm going to do the rock
and roll right here.
Go ing downtown and
buy myself a horn.
Hey, Uncle Luke, give out the alarm,
tell everybody close up the farm,
we're gonna rock and roll tonight
down at the barn.
Well, I'm still sittin' here
on the cotton row
Tryin' to do the rock and
roll
Everybody's steppin' high but me
I'm gonna get from behind
this old gray mare
Catch me a train and go somewhere
Go and learn to do the rock and roll
I'm so mad I ain't goin' nowhere
Do the rock and roll right here
Goin' downtown and
buy myself a heart
Well now, hey Uncle Luke,
give out the alarm
Tell everybody close up the farm
We're gonna rock and roll tonight
down at the barn
