Rock City Boogie - Original Mono - Tennessee Ernie Ford

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
