Lyrics The Wilkinsons

The Wilkinsons

The Yodelin' Blues

Billy was a rocker down in Baton Rouge

Liked to sing country in his tennis shoes

He grew up in the sixities on rock and roll

But he got him a gig in a country show

He travelled with them all across the USA

But one night in the middle of the set they say

He got his rockin' rhythm roots

And country confused

He sang the yodelin' blues

(Yodel)

Well the band thought Billy was a crazy fool

But that yodelin' thing he did was powerful cool

So they worked all week

And they got it just right

To play down at the club again Saturday night

And the crowd went screamin'

Crazy plum unglued

All the girls thought Billy was a happenin' dude

They said hey hey Billy

Do whatever you choose

Just sing the yodelin' blues

So they got a big bus and a semi too

A hit song, record deal, dream come true

You can see 'em on the TV

And the front page news

They're done payin' their dues

Long as Billy sings the yodelin' blues
