(Holly Dunn)
2
Billy was born in a one room shack
3
On the Tennessee line by the railroad track
4
Caught a bad fever and he went blind
5
And his daddy ran off about the same time
6
His mama didn't know what to do with the boy
7
So she gave him daddy's old guitar as a toy
8
Billy used to sit on the front porch swing
9
Pulling off licks and bending those strings
10
Playing to the rhythm of the south band train
11
Notes flying off his fingers like a hurricane
12
Couldn't see nothing, never said a word
13
But he could sure imitate anything he heard
14
He could rock, he could roll
15
(Rock, rock, rock, rock-a-billy)
16
Cry blues, with soul (Rock, rock, rock, rock-a-billy)
17
Never went to school one single day
18
But oh that boy could play
19
He could rock, rock, rock, rock-a-billy
20
One day a man came to Billy's town
21
To hear that boy and his guitar sound
22
He said "Son, you should be a star"
23
Now Billy's riding around in a big long car
24
Making more money than he'll ever spend
25
'Cause he still has what he had back then
26
He could rock, he could roll
27
(Rock, rock, rock, rock-a-billy)
28
Cry blues, with soul
29
(Rock, rock, rock, rock-a-billy)
30
Never went to school one single day
31
But oh that boy could play
32
He could rock, rock, rock, rock-a-billy
33
He could rock, rock, rock, rock-a-billy
