Song | Jailhouse Rock |
Artist | Merle Haggard |
Album | My Farewell to Elvis |
The warden threw a party in the county jail | |
The prisonband was there and they began to wail | |
The joint was jumping and the place began to swing | |
You should have heard those knocked out jailbirds sing | |
Let's rock | |
Everybody let's rock | |
Everybody on the whole cell block | |
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock | |
Spider murphy played the tenor saxophone | |
Little joe was blowin' on the slide trombone | |
The drummerboy from illinois went crash boom bang | |
The whole rhythm section was the purple gang | |
Let's rock | |
Everybody let's rock | |
Everybody on the whole cell block | |
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock | |
Well number 47 said to number 3 | |
You're the cutest jailbird i ever did see | |
I sure'll be delighted with your company | |
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me | |
Let's rock | |
Everybody let's rock | |
Everybody on the whole cell block | |
They were dancing to the jailhouse rock | |
Let's rock! | |
Sad sack was sittin' on a block of stone | |
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone | |
The warden said hey buddy don't you be no square | |
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair | |
Let's rock | |
Everybody let's rock | |
Everybody on the whole cell block | |
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock | |
They were dancing to the jailhouse rock×4 | |
Everybody on the whole cell block | |
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock | |
They was dancing to, dancing to, dancing to, dancing to | |
Dancing to the jailhouse rock | |
Oh they was dancing to, dancing to, dancing to, dancing to | |
Dancing to the jailhouse rock | |
Everybody on the whole cell block | |
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock | |
Dancing to the jailhouse rock... |
The warden threw a party in the county jail | |
The prisonband was there and they began to wail | |
The joint was jumping and the place began to swing | |
