(I Don't Want to Hang Up Your) Rock & Roll Shoes Songtext
von The Band

Mama, she done told me
She didn′t like this rock 'n′ roll
Mama, mama, please
Mama, you just don't know

I don't want to
Hang up my rock ′n′ roll shoes
I don't want to
Hang up my rock ′n' roll shoes
I get an old time feeling
Every time I hear the blues

They told me, "Get a job
And set yourself a goal"
But can′t they understand
I just wanna rock 'n′ roll


I don't want to
Hang up my rock 'n′ roll shoes
No, I don′t want to
Hang up my rock 'n′ roll shoes
Something happens to me
Every time I hear the blues

I would do my homework
I'd clean the yard every day
I would even do the dishes
I′ll do anything you say
They say that rock 'n′ roll
Will soon fade away
But I just wanna tell you
Rock 'n' roll is here to stay

I don′t want to
Hang up my rock ′n' roll shoes
No, no, I don′t want to
Hang up my rock 'n′ roll shoes
I get a good time feeling
Every time I hear the blues

Some might even say
It put the devil in my soul
But as the bums would share
I just wanna rock 'n′ roll


I don't want to
Hang up my rock 'n′ roll shoes
No, no, I don′t want to
Hang up my rock 'n′ roll shoes
My feet start a-moving
Every time I hear the blues
No, no, no, I don't want to
Hang up my rock ′n' roll shoes
No, no, no, I don′t want to
Hang up my rock 'n' roll shoes
Something happens to me
Every time I hear the blues
