Lyrics
Gene Vincent
Everybody's talkin' about workin' Danny
Nobody's talkin' about rollin' Danny
Everybody's talkin' about workin' Danny
Nobody's talkin' about rollin' Danny
Rollin' Danny, he was a rollin' man, man, man, man
Well, Dan walked into the old dance hall
Told the women that he loved them all
Lined six women up against the wall
Well I'm tellin' you man, this cat a-fooled them all
Rollin' Danny, he was a rollin' man, man, man, man
(Rock!)
Well, Dan walked up to these six cats on the wall
Said, oh man, you better talk
You love your woman and you love her right
Well I'm tellin' you man, you are in for a fight
Rollin' Danny, he was a rollin' man, man, man, man
The Fall
Well everybody's talking about the working man
Nobody's talking about rollin' Dan
Everybody's talking about the working man
Nobody's talking about rollin' man
Rollin' Dany
He was the rollin' man
Well Dan walked into the old dancehall
Told the women he loved 'em all
Two six women did a dance and crawl
And I'm a telling ya man
This cat'd fool 'em all
Rollin' Dany
He was the rollin' man
Go!
And three four five six cats linked up against the wall
And m m m mothers you dared the girls
But if you loved ya woman and ya loved 'em right
Well I'm a telling ya man
They were in for a fight
From Rollin' Dany
He was the rollin' man
Go!
Well everybody's talking about the working man
Nobody's talking about rollin' Dan
Everybody's talking about the working man
Nobody's talking about rollin' Dany
Rollin' Dany
He was the rollin' man
Rollin' Dany
He was the rollin' man
Rollin' Dany
He was
Rollin' Dany
He was the rollin' man
