Rockabilly Gal 鄉 巴 女 子
第一次以文字 Rockabilly 出現是1956年六月的流行榜回顧雜誌, 當中的專欄作家 Ruckus Tyler 的文章 "Rock Town Rock" 所提及 Gene Vincent 的新歌曲 "Be-Bop-A-Lula", 他就以 Rockabilly 這字對該曲的戲稱。而 Rockabilly 這個字首次在唱片中出現, 是1957年的一首歌曲 "Rockabilly Gal 鄉巴女子"。

一位前 Sun Records 旗下女歌手 Barbara Pittman 在受訪時聲稱:
當年這類的音樂既新且易, 歌曲樂譜總離不開三幾個 "結他和弦 Guitar chord", 實際上是美國南部搖擺音樂的膚淺與羞愧, 不過已經歴了這樣長的時間, 還好, 總給它挽回一些尊嚴, 且不介意樂壇仍稱我們是 "鄉巴佬 Hillbillies"

Rockabilly gal, runnin' after crazy rhythm
Rockabilly gal, woo-hoo-hoo
Rockabilly gal, runnin' after crazy rhythm
Rockabilly gal, please come back to me
Last night a certain rockabilly singer came to town
My gal says that she'd like to hear his crazy rhythm sound
So we went down to see him and he shook her up for sure
'Cause today he's gone and my Heather, she is following his tour
Rockabilly gal, runnin' after crazy rhythm
Rockabilly gal, woo-hoo-hoo
Rockabilly gal, runnin' after crazy rhythm
Rockabilly gal, please come back to me
This guy was just a hillbilly singer at the start
But when he added rock 'n' roll he tore the place apart
The moment my gal heard him, you'd swear an earthquake begins
She started with a-itchin' and a-twakin', then got up and ran
Rockabilly gal, woo-hoo-hoo
Rockabilly gal, runnin' after crazy rhythm
Rockabilly gal, please come back to me
