I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight

Gonna hold my baby as tight as I can

Tonight she'll know I'm a mighty man

I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight



Oh, lead me in the alley behind the barn

Don't be afraid, I'll do you no harm

Baby, bring my rockin' shoes

'Cause tonight I'm gonna rock away all my blues

Have you heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight



Well, Elder Brown, Deacon Jones,

They've left their happy home

They'll be there, just you wait and see

A-jumpin' and a-stompin' at the jubilee

Hey man, there's good rockin' tonight



Sweet Lorraine, Sioux City Sue,

Sweet Georgia Brown, Caledonia, too

They'll be there jumpin' like mad

Hey, sister, ain't you glad

We got the news there's good rockin' tonight
