Song Lyrics

Last night I went down to the railroad tracks
To watch that train roll by
99 cars screaming into the dark
I heard the lonesome whistle cry

With her name on my arm and the rain coming down
I kissed her like it was the first time
I took her down to the railroad tracks
And her red, red lips touched mine

She said, "I wanna rock & roll
Wanna hoochie coo
Shake that thing
Baby, love me do"

The woman's got a walk to make a man cry
Throw back his head and howl
Ruby red lips, liquid hips
More than the law will allow

If I told her once, I told her twice
I must have told her a thousand times
I got a red hot mind and a cold black heart
I am the jealous kind

Where the woman just laughed and said, "Sweet Daddy
You know you are the only one
You're my smooth lover boy, my heartache and joy
Come on let's have some fun"

I wanna rock & roll
Wanna hoochie coo
Shake that thing
Baby, love me do

It was early last night, I went downtown
To a place called Johnny's Last Stand
Through the blues and the smoke, I saw her on the dance floor
She's with another man

The dead man's name was Louie Dupree
I pushed the little button on my knife
I walked up and I said, "Well hello boys and girls
Have you enjoyed your life?"

It's time to rock & roll
Time to hoochie coo
Time to shake that thing
Baby, love me do

Last night I went down to the railroad tracks
To watch that train roll by
99 cars screaming into the dark
I heard the lonesome whistle cry

With her name on my arm and the rain coming down
I kissed her for the very last time
I took her down to the railroad track
And her dead, red lips touched mine

I wanna rock & roll
Wanna hoochie coo
Shake that thing
Baby, love me do

Wanna rock & roll
Wanna hoochie coo
Shake that thing
Baby, love me do

Baby, love me do
Baby, love me do
Baby, love me do
Baby, love me do
