Tennessee Ernie Ford Rock City Boogie Lyrics

On top of Lookout Mountain
Up in Chattanooga
Everybody's doin'
The Rock City Boogie
Now, you should take your baby
And I don't mean maybe
'Cause everybody's doin'
The Rock City Boogie now

It started with the Charleston
Then the Suzie Q
Along came the square dance
But brother, they're all through
So drivin' down that highway
Make sure you go my way
To Lookout Mountain
And Rock City Boogie with me

And if you take your baby by the hand
And head for Rock City, she'll understand
Tell Mama she's spendin' the night with a friend
'Cause she won't be home until dawn, boy

I'll meet you on the mountain
Up in Chattanooga
Everybody's doin' The Rock City Boogie
So if you take your baby
Then she won't mean maybe
She'll keep on doin'
The Rock City Boogie with you

And if you take your baby by the hand
And head for Rock City, she'll understand
Tell Mama I'm spendin' the night with a friend
'Cause she won't be home until dawn, ah

I'll meet you on a mountain
Up in Chattanooga
Everybody's doin'
The Rock City Boogie
So if you take your baby
Then she won't mean maybe
She'll keep on doin'
The Rock City Boogie with you

I'm gonna take my baby by the hand
And head for Rock City, she'll understand
Headin' down the highway
No way but our way
Rock City Boogie with me
