‘Cause all of my sins are tak-en a-way

Well, hand me down my rocking shoes
Hand me down my rocking shoes
Baby, hand me down my rocking shoes
We’ll rock to the rhythm and blues
All my sins are taken away

Well, hand me down my white sports coat
Hand me down my white sports coat
Well, hand me down my white sports coat
We’ll start rocking and, boy, we’ll go
All my sins are taken away

Well, hand me down my walking bone
Hand me down my walking bone
Well, hand me down my walking bone
We’ll start rocking, we’ll be a rolling stone
All my sins are taken away

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
