Rock and Roll [Fais-Do-Do]

Michael Smotherman

Well when I first got to Memphis
I was knocked out by those friendly people
They all said "howdy, howdy, come on in
We don't know the meaning
Of the word outsider

I said "People
You gonna play this kinda music
Well there's something I would
Surely like to know when I was a boy I
Heard this wild kinda music
And I think they called it, oh, rock and roll
Can you tell me what you
Know about rock and roll?"
They said "son, it's just a feeling
Way down in your soul"
Just a simple story with this
Wild rock and roll
Yeah, well all the boys in Louisiana
Called it rock and roll
But I'll tell you a secret
It drives the women crazy
And that's all you need to
Know about rock and roll

Well you could not imagine the
Shape my head was in
I took me a walk down by the Mississippi
When I heard this rockin' out
Of the harbour inn
I couldn't resist, I had me a drink
Then I had me a listen

I said "people
You gonna play this kinda music
There's something that I'd really
Like to know when I was a boy I
Heard this wild kinda music
And I think they called it, rock and roll
Can you tell me what you
Know about rock and roll?"

They said "son, it's just a feeling
Way down in your soul"
Just a simple story with this
Wild rock and roll
Yeah, well all the boys in Louisiana
Called it rock and roll
But I'll tell you a secret
It drives the women crazy
And that's all you need to
Know about rock and roll
