[Verse 1]
Well, down in New Orleans at the Golden Goose
I grabbed a green-eyed dolly that was on the loose
Well, I dig that music, well she said, "Me too"
I said, "Pretty baby come on and let's do"

[Chorus]
The Dixieland rock (Dixieland rock)
Well, the Dixieland rock (Dixieland rock)
Let your hair down Sugar, shake it free
And do the Dixieland rock with me

[Verse 2]
With the blue light shining on her swinging hips
She got the drummer so nervous that he lost his sticks
The cornet player hit a note that's flat
The trombone hit him while the poor cat sat

[Chorus]
To the Dixieland rock (Dixieland rock)
Well, the Dixieland rock (Dixieland rock)
Let your hair down Sugar, shake it free
And do the Dixieland rock with me

[Verse 3]
I was all pooped out and when the clock struck four
But she said, no daddy can't leave the floor
She wore a clinging dress that fit so tight
She couldn't sit down so we danced all night

[Chorus]
To the Dixieland rock (Dixieland rock)
Well, the Dixieland rock (Dixieland rock)
Let your hair down Sugar, shake it free
And do the Dixieland rock with me

Let your hair dance Sugar, shake it free
And do the Dixieland rock with me
(Dixieland, Dixieland)
(Dixieland rock with me)

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
