Tuscaloosa 1962 Songtext
von Donnie Fritts

Hollis Dixon and The Keynotes
We played the fraternities
I was on drums, I didn′t play so hot
But I kept a damn good beat
Played a lot of rock and roll
And some greasy rhythm and blues
That was down in Tuscaloosa, 1962


Well the Bear and his boys were tearing it up
Every Saturday afternoon
Saturday night we would get all torn down
In the fraternity living rooms
Well the kids got right, the band got tight
When we laid down that funky groove
That was down in Tuscaloosa, 1962

And it was Roll Tide all night long
The kids would scream for "Shout"
That was their favorite song

And it was Roll Tide all night long
The kids would scream for "Shout"
That was their favorite song


Dan Penn and the Pallbearers
They were next door doing a show
Then the gig was over we'd all pack up
And head back to Muscle Shoals
But before we left town we would hang around
The local Chat-N-Chew
That was down in Tuscaloosa, 1962
Down in Tuscaloosa, 1962
