When summer comes I’m gonna take a vacation I’m a-goin’ to another part of this nation My old car’s gettin’ to look so old. But I hope it’ll make it just the same ‘Til I pull right in to my daddy’s lane, And I’m a-goin’ to let her skip, hop and wobble, Rattle, ramble and roll
We’ll get into the Tennessee hills We’ll hear the hummin’ of the old saw mills Out of the mountain boys will be hauling coal Well, I guess they’ve got about twenty takes, They never worry about their brakes And they just let ‘em skip, hop and wobble, Rattle, ramble and roll
Well, all along the line I hear a freight train blowin’ And everywhere I look I see crops all growin’ I'm going’ home, on my home town I’m done sold They’ll say Jimmy’s back, he’s not leavin’ I wanna be happy and never grievin’ And I’m a-goin’ to let ‘em skip, hop and wobble, Rattle, ramble and roll
Well, I’m a-goin’ to let ‘em skip, hop and wobble, Rattle, ramble and roll
