Red Foley — Birmingham Bounce

[Verse 1] In the heart of dixie down in Alabam There's a place we love called Birmingham Everybody starts a-rockin' and a-shufflin' their feet When a drum starts playin' that solid beat Now everybody's dancin' and jumpin' too When the music starts a-rockin', nobody's blue A funny little rhythm with a solid sound A boogie and a jumper called the Birmingham Bounce [Verse 2] Now some like a horn with a valve in the middle And some like the beat of a big bare spiddle If you're a-dancin' in the moonlight or a-dancin' in the dark We all like to dance to an old french harp Now everybody's dancin' and a-jumpin' too When the music starts a-rockin', nobody's blue A funny little rhythm with a solid sound A boogie and a jumper called the Birmingham Bounce [Verse 3] If you like your music going eight to the bar I know a way to make it best before If the beat gets you movin' and you need a good start Let's everybody dance to a steel guitar Now everybody's dancin' and jumpin' too When the music starts a-rockin', nobody's blue A funny little rhythm with a solid sound A boogie and a jumper called the Birmingham Bounce [Verse 4] Now whether it's hot or fine or sweet If it's down in dixie, brother, it's got that beat We don't have the moon or even the star But here's that guitar going eight to the bar Now everybody's dancin' and jumpin' too When the music starts a-rockin', nobody's blue A funny little rhythm with a solid sound A boogie and a jumper called the Birmingham Bounce [Verse 5] When you come down south and you want a good time Just come to a dance when you're feelin' fine Now that's all it takes to spend a happy time Let's all dance together and have a wonderful time! Now everybody's dancin' and jumpin' too When the music starts a-rockin', nobody's blue A funny little rhythm with a solid sound A boogie and a jumper called the Birmingham Bounce
