The Tennessee Rock 'N' Roll
Swing and Sway: Unveiling the Tennessee Rock 'N' Roll Revelry
Lyrics
Oh, I went down to Tennessee
Expressing the speaker's visit to Tennessee.
Yes, I went down to Tennessee
Reiteration of the speaker's journey to Tennessee.
What did I see in Tennessee?
Raising the question of what the speaker observed in Tennessee.
I saw a place where dancers meet
Noting the existence of a place where people gather to dance.
I swear I saw the dancingest feet
Highlighting the exceptionally lively and energetic dancing feet.
You never heard a wilder beat
Emphasizing the intense and exhilarating rhythm of the music.
They were doing the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll
Describing the dance style as the "Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll" and expressing the speaker's amazement at the experience.
They were doing the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll
-Upon my soul, the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll
-The caller called: "Let's promenade!"
Depicting a square dance event with a caller instructing participants and a fiddler providing music; emphasizing a transformation or reinvention of the traditional square dance.
The fiddling man looked gone as he played
-The old square dance had been remade
-They were doing the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll
Reiteration of the enthusiastic engagement in the "Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll."
They were doing the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll
-Upon my soul, the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll
-Then all at once, before I knew
Unexpectedly joining the lively atmosphere and enthusiastically participating in the dance.
I joined in with the Hullaballoo
-I dug the beat and did it too
-I was doing the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll
Personal involvement in the energetic dance, repeating the impact of the "Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll" on the speaker's soul.
I was doing the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll
-Upon my soul, the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll
-Come on let's all do the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll
Encouraging everyone to join and enjoy the "Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll."
Come on let's all do the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll
-Upon my soul, the Tennessee Rock 'n' Roll
