When you walk up to a jukebox and you slip that nickel in You can bet your bottom dollar when that record starts to spin You'll hear a fiddle and a guitar with a honky tonkin' sound It's that hill billy fever that's spreadin' all around Hillbilly fever's goin' around Good ole mountain music's got me down It's got me robbin' candles throwin' rice and slippin' around Hillbilly fever's got me down When you get that jumpy feelin' and you don't know what is wrong Don't you worry 'bout it brother there's a brand new mountain song That's got the whole dang country rockin' with that big apple beat It's that hillbilly breakdown that shake’s you off your feet Hillbilly fever's goin' around Good ole mountain music's got me down I spent a sunday down in tennessee and here's what I found Hillbilly fever's goin' around When that love bug starts around you and you don't know you've been stung Then you go and see a doctor and he says poke out your tongue When he looks into that canyon tells you brother I've got news You're the victim of sweet daddy and you've got the lovesick blues Hillbilly fever's goin' aroun Good ole mountain music's got me down I stopped in chattanooga got a shine and I heard this sound Hillbilly fever's goin' around Hillbilly fever's goin' around Good ole mountain music's got me down I'm gonna one foot two foot slew foot drag and then I'll hoe it down Hillbilly fever's goin' around
