(J. Rod)

Listen!
You can rock me, rock me all night long.
Keep on rockin' me baby, rock me all night long.
'Cause you know what, when you rock me,
My poor back it ain't got a bone.
You can roll me, just like they roll the wagon wheel,
Way down in the country.
Keep on rollin' me baby, roll me all night long.
You know, you can shake, rattle, and roll me,
Till my back it ain't got a bone.
And I won't mind that! Yea!

Ow! Over here!
Keep on rollin' me baby, just roll me all night long,
I won't mind it.
Keep on rollin' me baby, roll me all night long.
'Cause you know what, when you shake, rattle, and roll me,
My old back ain't got a bone.
So will you do it?

Keep on rollin' me baby,
Rollin' me baby.
Any old way you choose it,
Keep on rollin' me.
Ha, ha. Keep rollin' me honey,
'Till my old back ain't, got a bone. Over there!

Rockin' me baby,
Rockin' me baby,
Rock me honey,
Rockin' me baby, whoa whoa

I don't mind which way that ya', come on honey, keep on.
Rockin' me baby,
Rockin' me baby,
Keep on rockin' me baby,




You know you'd better keep on rockin' me all night long.
You can rock me baby, yeah, yeah, ow!

Overall Meaning

The song "Rock My Plimsoul" by Rod Stewart is a blues-infused rock tune with lyrics that suggest desire and sexual energy between two people. The lyrics, simple as they may seem, contain a double entendre with the phrase "rock me". The singer urges his lover to continue rocking him all night long, intimating that he wants her to satisfy him sexually. The reference to a back with no bone could be interpreted as the singer's way of saying that he is so caught up in the pleasure and passion of the moment that he has lost all sense of restraint or control.


The singer continues his plea, urging his lover to roll him, shake him, rattle him, until his back is so spent that it is like a boneless appendage. The energy of the song is palpable, with the lyrics driving home the point that the singer wants to be rocked, rolled, and shaken by his lover all night long. The song's bluesy feel with the prominent use of guitar and keyboard in the arrangement makes it the kind of song that would not be out of place in any smoky blues bar.

Just love this whole album!! This is from when they FIRST (1968) came across The Pond-but a much HEAVIER sound than other Brits at this time. Sounds better than ever listening now!! Jeff's guitar playing grabs you and doesn't let you go!! SPECTACULAR 💥💫
Your will be missed, Jeff-- IMMENSELY...."TRUTH"!!
🎸⚡️🔥 RIP ✨️

@jerzybecik1120

RIP Jeff Beck.Big thank you for the music you gave us. "Truth" goes to us straight from heaven. I hope there is a place for you there.

@josephlemko3027

It is unbelievable how good this band was. It was a shame that their time together was so short.

@familiarpurrson8744

Yes. You can say that about pretty much all of Beck's groups, though. The man was always restless, which was both a disappointment and a amazement at what he'd be doing next.

@brucejackson6519

Beck's Motorcycle accident loosened Rod Stewart & Ronny

@Xporttek777

RIP Jeff Beck
One of the realest, period.

@johnhowell7339

I was 15 when I saw The Jeff Beck Group at the Filmore West in SF with Rod Stewart vocals and Ronnie wood on bass. Thought they were the best live band I had ever seen and there were a lot of bands in the City at that time! Truth is one of the greatest albums of all time!!

@fritzduerst1875
