The Viscounts
Ronnie Dawson’s second single, “Rockin' Bones”, was released in 1959, but failed to chart. It has since become an early rockabilly classic.
[Chorus]
Roll on, rock on, yeah now bop, yeah rock on
Well, there's still a lot of rhythm in these rockin' bones
[Verse 1]
I wanna leave a happy memory when I go
I wanna leave something to let the whole world know
That the rock 'n' roll daddy has done passed on
But the bones keep rockin' long after I'm gone
[Chorus]
Roll on, rock on, yeah now bop, yeah rock on
Well, there's still a lot of rhythm in these rockin' bones
Yeah, rock me bones!
[Verse 2]
Well when I die, buried six foot deep
With a rock 'n' roll record at my feet
A phonograph needle in my hand
I'm gonna rock my way right out of this land
[Chorus]
Roll on, rock on, yeah now bop, yeah rock on
Well, there's still a lot of rhythm in these rockin' bones
[Verse 3]
Well, when I die don't bury me at all
Just a-hang my bones upon the wall
Beneath these bones let these words be seen:
"The running gears of a boppin' machine"
[Chorus]
Roll on, rock on, yeah now bop, yeah rock on
Well, there's still a lot of rhythm in these rockin' bones
Still a lot of rhythm in these rockin' bones
Still a lot of rhythm in these rockin' bones
Still a lot of rhythm in these rockin' bones
Rockin’ Bones was written by Dub Nalls & Don Carter & Jack Rhodes.
