Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And then I'm going to rock away all my blues
I'm a rockin' daddy, yeah a rockin' daddy
I'm a rockin' daddy from Ding Dong Tennessee
2) Well I told little mama if she'd be good
We'd stay up and rock all night
We're rockin' daddy, yeah rockin' daddy
3) Well I told little mama she could hold me tight
We'd stay up and rock all night
I'm a rockin' daddy, yeah a rockin' daddy
I'm a rockin' daddy from Ding Dong Tennessee
The lyrics of Rockabilly/Sonny Fisher's song Rockin' Daddy describe the singer's love for rock and roll music and dancing the blues away. The opening lines, "Well I'm a-going get me some rockin' shoes / And then I'm going to rock away all my blues," convey a sense of determination on the singer's part to get lost in the music and forget about any hardships they may be experiencing. The repetition of the phrase "I'm a rockin' daddy" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's pride in their love for rock and roll and their ability to dance to it. The reference to Ding Dong, Tennessee adds a playful element to the song, as if the singer is proud to be from a town with such a whimsical name.
Later in the song, the singer references their "little mama" and promises to stay up all night rocking with her if she behaves. The line "I'm a rockin' daddy with my brand new rockin' shoes" shows that the singer takes their dancing seriously and has invested in the appropriate footwear for a night of non-stop dancing. The repetition of the phrase "rockin' daddy" throughout the song not only highlights the singer's enthusiasm for rock and roll, but also serves as a catchy hook for the listener to latch onto.
