I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight   Gonna hold my baby as tight as I can   Tonight she'll know I'm a mighty man   I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight      Oh, lead me in the alley behind the barn   Don't be afraid, I'll do you no harm   Baby, bring my rockin' shoes   'cause tonight I'm gonna rock away all my blues   Have you heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight      Well, elder brown, deacon jones,   They've left their happy home   They'll be there, just you wait and see   A-jumpin' and a-stompin' at the jubilee   Hey man, there's good rockin' tonight      Sweet lorraine, sioux city sue,   Sweet georgia brown, caledonia, too   They'll be there jumpin' like mad   Hey, sister, ain't you glad   We got the news there's good rockin' tonight
