William Moore’s “Old Country Rock'‘ was the last of the four records he released under Paramount Records. Many consider this song as one of the few proto-rock songs, because of its title. But the same term was actually used a year prior by Blind Blake, on the song "West Coast Blues.”

Old Country Rock Lyrics
[All Spoken]
Come on, Bill, let's take 'em for an "Old Country Rock"
Let's go back down on the Rappahannock, down Tappahannock way
Whip it, Bill, while everybody rocks
Get that old rock streaming in, Bill
Everybody rock. Old folks rock
Young folks rock. Boys rock. Girls rock
Drop back, man, and let me rock
Rock me, sis, rock me!
Rock me 'til I sweat
Drop back, folks, let your pappy rock
Pappy knows how. Chillun rock
Sister Ernestine, show your pappy how you rock
Mighty fine, boys, rock it!
Rock it 'til the cows come home
Whip that, barber Bill, whip it!
Too sad, I mean, too sad for the public
Goin' up the country
Back down in the country, gettin' on that old rock. Rappahanock. Tappahannock
'Cross the river, boys, 'cross that river
Man, it's sporty
Play it, Bill
Play it 'til the sergeant comes
