I heard the news
There's good rockin' tonight
Gonna hold my baby 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 even 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
