	Lyrics HILLBILLY MUSIC by Ellen Griffith, Copyright 1997 When Hank Williams did it, it was hillbilly music, Hillbilly music, all right. A little honky-tonk, a little boogie-woogie, It never tried to be polite. When Jimmie Rodgers did it, it was hillbilly music, Hillbilly music was its name. A little bit of twang, a little country yodel, A little blues to fan the flame. Oh, hillbilly music. Hillbilly music. Has left the hills and gone down-town. There's no more dirty boots, Or gritty country roots, It's a polished up hand-me-down. When Ernest Tubb did it, it was hillbilly music, Hillbilly music clear through. So Nashville, watch your ass, 'cause hillbilly music Has got a bone to pick with you. When Buck Owens did it, it was hillbilly music, Hillbilly music, that's true. A bit of steel guitar, a lot of country fiddle, And half a jug of mountain dew. When Ferlin Husky did it, it was hillbilly music, Hillbilly music, you bet. A little country swing, a little jazzy rhythm, A smokin' groove you can't forget. Oh, hillbilly music. Hillbilly music. It used to be a back roads thing. At some ol' redneck bar, A fiddle and guitar, You just turned 'em loose to pick and sing When Milton Brown did it, it was hillbilly music, Hillbilly music all night. We're marchin' in the streets for hillbilly music So grab your axe and join the fight.
