Little Jimmy Dickens Hillbilly Fever Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you walk up to a juke box and you slip a nickel in
You can bet your bottom dollar when that record starts to spin
You'll hear a fiddle and a guitar with a honky tonkin' sound
It's that hillbilly fever that's speadin' all around

[Chorus]
Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round
Good ol' mountain music's got me down
It's got me robbin' castles, throwin' rice and slippin' around
Hillbilly fever's got me down

[Verse 2]
When you get that jumpy feelin'
And you don't know what is wrong
Don't you worry about bother
There's a brand new mountain song
That's got the whole darn country rockin' with that big apple beat
It's that hillbilly breakdown that shakes you off your feet

[Chorus]
Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round
Good ol' mountain music's got me down I spent a Sunday down in Tennessee and here's what I found
Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round

[Verse 3]
When that love bug starts around you
And you don't know you've been stung
Then you go and see a doctor
And he says "Poke out your tongue"
But he looks into that canyon, tells you "Brother, I got news"
You're a victim of sweet daddy and you got the love sick blues

[Chorus]
Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round
Good ol' mountain music's got me down
I stopped in Chattanooga gard shinin', I heard this sound
Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round
Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round
Good ol' mountain music's got me down
I'm gonna one foot, two foot, slew foot, draggin'
Then I hoe it down
Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round
