Rockin' Daddy
Sonny Fisher & The Rocking Boys Lyrics
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 song "Rockin' Daddy" by Sonny Fisher is a classic rock and roll tune that celebrates the spirit of the genre. The first two lines of the song, "Well I'm a-going get me some rockin' shoes / And then I'm going to rock away all my blues," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is looking for a way to relieve his troubles, and he finds it in the form of rock and roll. The repetition of the phrase "I'm a rockin' daddy" underscores the theme of the song and emphasizes the singer's identity as someone who lives for rock and roll.
The second verse adds a bit of romance to this celebration of rock and roll. The singer promises his "little mama" that they will "rock all night," and this idea of dancing together until the morning light becomes a central focus for the rest of the song. The repetition of the phrase "rockin' daddy" continues to reinforce the identity of the singer as someone who is dedicated to rock and roll and who wants to share that love with his partner. The final lines of the song, "I'm a rockin' daddy from Ding Dong Tennessee," give a nod to the singer's roots and suggest that rock and roll is not just a passing fad but a deep part of his identity.
