You can tell I'm from the country
See I'm from out of town
But I'm begining to catch on
I'm letting muy hair down
I've been a rocking, I've been a rolling
I guess to some folks I look foolish
Just let it make a fool out of me

I have worked in fields of cotton
I have worked in fields of corn
But I've seen nothing like it
Since the day that I was born
I've been a rocking, I've been a rolling
I guess to some folkes I look foolish
Just let it make a fool out of me

I walked in a crowded dance hall
And I didn't know a soul
Some hillbillies, started picking
Everybody rocked and rolled
I've been rocking, I've been a rolling
I guess to some folks I look foolish
Just let it make a fool out of me

I have spent all the egg money
Corn and cotton I have sold
I'll mortgage my old homestead
Stay in town to rock and roll
I've been a rocking, I've been a rolling
I guess to some folks, I look foolish
Just let it make a fool out of me
