Ramrod

About Ramrod

"Ramrod" is a song written and performed by Bruce Springsteen for his fifth album, The River, released in 1980. It was recorded at The Power Station in New York in June or July 1979. The song was written earlier and initially recorded for Springsteen's Darkness on the Edge of Town album, but that recording was not used for its release on The River. Although "Ramrod" was never released as the A-side of a single, it reached #30 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1981. It has remained a popular song in concerts by Bruce Springsteen with the E Street Band, with about 410 performances through 2008, and appearing on both the CD and DVD versions of Live in New York City. In the Netherlands, "Ramrod" was released as the B-side of the "Point Blank" single in 1981. In other countries it was released as the B-side of "The River". more »

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
