The first song he ever learned had a strong boogie beat Come on now Rock it rock it rock it along
Roll it roll it roll it on
Git it git it git it on
Got it got it got it and gone
Then one day it happened
They hauled him off to war
Way over there in no man's land Just him and his guitar
Nobody near to love him
Nobody ever sent him news
What could a poor boy do at night Sit down and sing them blues Come on now Rock it rock it rock it along
Roll it roll it roll it on
Git it git it git it on
Got it got it got it and gone
Rock it rock it rock it along
Roll it roll it roll it on
Git it git it git it on
Got it got it got it and gone
Early one morning they called him
Oh what a beautiful day
They packed him in an old army plane And flew him back home to stay
He landed in Clark Air base
But didn't have no place to go So he sit down with his guitar in the middle of the street And gave everybody a free show
Rock it rock it rock it along
Roll it roll it roll it on
Git it git it git it on
Got it got it got it and gone
