In My Hometown, Where I Was Born
My Clothes Were Kind A Ragged And My Shoes Were Worn
I Used To Plough The Fields, I Used To Sow The Corn
Till I Heard The News That Rock 'n' Roll Was Born

Now I Rock In My Rockin' Shoes
Yeah, I Rock-a-rock Away All My Blues
And When The Bluebird Doesn't Bring Good News
I Just Rock It All Away In My Rockin' Shoes

Well, I'm A Cotton Pickin' Rocker From A-way Back
I First Started Rockin' In An Old Haystack
I Don't Drive A Sportscar Or Cadillac
Just A Cotton Pickin' Rocker From A-way Back

Now That You've Heard What Converted Me
To A Real Hepcat To The Highest Degree
Well Baby, Maybe You Can See
This Rock 'n' Roll Music Was A-meant For Me

Yeah, And I Rock In My Rockin' Shoes
Yeah, I Rock-a-rock Away All My Blues
And When The Bluebird Doesn't Bring Good News
I Just Rock It All Away In My Rockin' Shoes

Well, I'm A Cotton Pickin' Rocker From A-way Back
I First Started Rockin' In An Old Haystack
I Don't Drive A Sportscar Or Cadillac
Just A Cotton Pickin' Rocker From A-way Back

Well, I'm A Cotton Pickin' Rocker From A-way Back
I First Started Rockin' In An Old Haystack
I Don't Drive A Sportscar Or Cadillac
I'm Just A Cotton Pickin' Rocker From A-way Back
Cotton Pickin' Rocker From A-way Back
Cotton Pickin' Rocker From A-way Back
Cotton Pickin' Rocker From A-way Back!
