  • Hey
    Hey, little dolly with the blue jeans on
    I want to ramrod with you honey, 'til half-past dawn
    Let your hair down mama and pick up this beat
    Come on and meet me tonight down on Bluebird Street
    I've been working all week, I'm up to my neck in hock
    Come Saturday night I let my ramrod rock

    She's a hot stepping hemi with a four on the floor
    She's a roadrunner engine in a thirty-two Ford
    Late at night when I'm dead on the line
    I swear I think of your pretty face when I let her unwind
    Well look over yonder see them city lights
    Yeah, come on little dolly 'n' go ramroddin' tonight

    Oh, well I said
    Come on, come on, come on little baby
    Come on, come on let's shake it tonight
    Come on, come on, come on little sugar
    Dance with your daddy and we'll go ramroddin' tonight

    Oh yeah, baby
    Hey, little dolly won't you say you will
    Meet me tonight up on top of the hill
    Well just a few miles cross the county line
    There's a cute little chapel nestled down in the pines
    Say you'll be mine little girl I'll put my foot to the floor
    Give me the word now sugar, we'll go ramroddin' forever more

    Oh, right
    Yeah
    Hey
    Let's go Writer/s: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

  • Manfred from Marktsteft, GermanyHi i'm from Germany and I do not know the of the part of the Lyrics "I wanna ramrod with you honey" . What does that mean.?
  • Mark from Worcester, MiYou know Steve in Canada, they play this real slow live. I think it loses something. Just my opinion though and I'm glad you enjoy it.
  • Mark from Worcester, MiStephen King, in one of his books, called this one of the top 10 rock songs of all times. King knows Rock and Roll too. He writes his books to howling hard rock.
  • Steve from Markham, CanadaGreat song on cd but it really comes to life in concert. Bruce stretches it out and does not become boring.
