Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

Down at the Blue Rose Stroll, well they like to shake a thing

 Looks like a bunch of monkeys on a tight rope string

 And you know, that Madeline will do you right

From Tuscaloosa, Alabama to Theta, Tennessee

 Oh, the juke is always jumpin when the people start the dee

So grab your neighbor and get on in line

Chorus

Tell your mama, and tell your daddy

 that you're never coming home

You're gonna lay the licks and get your fix down on the floor

If you got a dollar lay it down

And tell your baby, "Spin me around!"

You gotta move your feet if you wanna make it out alive

 You know the rich folks, they can't dance like us

 They holler so much, but they can't ride the bus

 And you know, my baby's riding for free

 Well they keep on keepin' but don't know what's going on

 Down here in the holler, where the whiskey people roam

 That's where I wanna be

Chorus
