Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | I'm looking for a Rockabilly song that has the line
"I'm ready, willing, and able
To rock & roll all night"
Found a large number of songs with that lyric, but the ones with sound samples available are not in the genre. The most likely candidate is a Nitty Gritty Dirt Band song, but I'm not sure it's the one.
Can our resident Rockabilly expert(s) help me out?
And which album(s) I can find it on to learn...? |

Could the "original" be Fats Domino? Though he probably got it from someone else. |
