Johnny B. Goode
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans Way back up in the woods among the evergreens, There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode, Who never ever learned to read or write so well But he could play a guitar just like a ringin' a bell.
(Chorus) Go Go Go Johnny Go Go (x4) Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack, Oh sit beneath a tree by the railroad track Oh the engineers would see him sittin in the shade, Strummin with the rhythm that the drivers made, Oh n' people passin' by they would stop and say Oh my but that little country boy could play'
(Chorus)
His mother told him 'some day you will be a man, And you will be the leader of a big ol' band Many people comin' from miles around, To hear you play your music when the sun go down, Maybe some day your name will be in lights sayin Johnny B. Goode' tonight

Oh baby doll! When bells ring out the summer free Oh baby doll Will it end for you and me? We'll sing our old alma mater And think of things that used to be
I remember it so well Back when the weather was cool We used to have so much fun When we were walking to school If we stopped off to hear The latest songs they sing And we just make it in Before the bells would ring
Oh baby doll! Etc...
When the teacher was gone That's when we'd have a ball We use to dance and play All up and down the hall We had a portable radio We was ballin' the jack We'd be all back in order When the teacher got back
Oh baby doll!

No Particular Place To Go
Ridin' along in my automobile My baby beside me at the wheel I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile My curiosity runnin' wild
Cruisin' and playin' the radio With no particular place to go.
Ridin' along in my automobile I'm anxious to tell her the way I feel, So I told her softly and sincere, And she leaned and whispered in my ear Cuddlin' more and drivin' slow, With no particular place to go.
No particular place to go, So we parked way out on the Kokomo The night was young and the moon was bold So we both decided to take a stroll Can you imagine the way I felt? I couldn't unfasten her safety belt!
Ridin' along in my calaboose Still tryin' to get her belt aloose All the way home I held a grudge, For the safety belt that wouldn't budge Cruisin' and playin' the radio With no particular place to go.

Promised Land
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia, California on my mind. Straddled that Greyhound, rode him past Raleigh, On across Caroline.
Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill, And we never was a minute late. We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown, Rollin' 'cross the Georgia state.
We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle, Half way 'cross Alabam, And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded In downtown Birmingham.
Straight off, I bought me a through train ticket, Ridin' cross Mississippi clean And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham Smoking into New Orleans.
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana Just help me get to Houston town. There's people there who care a little 'bout me And they won't let the poor boy down.
Sure as you're born, they bought me a silk suit, Put luggage in my hands, And I woke up high over Albuquerque On a jet to the promised land.
Workin' on a T-bone steak a la carte Flying over to the Golden State; The pilot told me in thirteen minutes We'd be headin' in the terminal gate.
Swing low sweet chariot, come down easy Taxi to the terminal zone; Cut your engines, cool your wings, And let me make it to the telephone.
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia, Tidewater four ten O nine Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'

Pass Away
(Recitation) Once in Persia reigned a king who upon his royal ring carved these words so true and wise Which when held before his eyes gave him counsel at a glance of his life of changing chance Solemn words and these are they: "Even this shall pass away"
Trains of camels through the sand brought him gems from Samarkand Fleets of galleys through the sea brought him pearls to match with thee But he counted not his gain nor his treasure, mine or main "What is wealth ?", the king would say, "Even this shall pass away"
In the revel of his court, at the zenith of his sport When the palms of all his guests burned with clapping at his zest He among his figs and wine would cry, "Oh, loving friends of mine Pleasures may come, but they cannot stay, like even this shall pass away ?"
The most beautiful woman ever seen was the bride he chose his queen Pillowed on their royal bed, whispering to her soul he said: "Though a bridegroom never pressed dearer bosom to his chest But mortal flesh must come to clay and even these shall pass away"
Towering over the village square, thirty meters in the air Rose his statue, carved in stone, as the king stood there alone Gazing at his sculptured name, said to himself, "So what is fame ? Fame, it's but slow decay, even this shall pass away"
Fighting furiously on a battlefield, once a javelin pierced his shield Soldiers with a loud lament bore him bleeding to his tent Groaning from his tortured side, "Pain is hard to bear", he cried "Oh, but with patience day by day, even this shall pass away"
Sick and sore with cancer; weak and tired and old, just minutes yet to go to pass the gates o' gold Spake he with his dying breath, "Life is done, so what is death ?" Then in answer to the king fell a sunbeam on his ring

Maybellene
Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing the things you used to do.
As I was motivatin' over the hill I saw Maybellene in a coup de ville. A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road, nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford. The cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five, she's bumper to bumber rollin' side by side.
Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing the things you used to do.
Pink in the mirror on top of the hill, it's just like swallowin' up a medicine pill. First thing I saw that Cadillac grille doin' a hundred and ten gallopin' over that hill. Offhill curve, a downhill strecth, me and that Cadillac neck by neck.
Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing the things you used to do.
The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford, the Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more. It then got clody and it started to rain, I tooted my horn for a passin' lead the rain water blowin' all under my hood, I knew that was doin' my motor good.
Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing the things you used to do.
The motor cooled down, the heat went down and that's when I heard that highway sound. The Cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of lead a hundred and ten a half a mile ahead. The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still and I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill.
Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?

Together (We Will Always Be)
I saw you over there But what could I do? I couldn't stand and stare Or come and talk to you And it is always fair To formally be introduced? To you especially
I took it on my own To come an talk to you Because you were alone I hope I didn't intrude Observing you had shown That you were so lonely and blue
*Nothing beats a failure like a try There's a great reward Someone will surely hail you If you try But you must try hard And if I hadn't tried I wonder where I'd be If I upon relied On fate you meeting me But because I tried Together we'll always be
(*Repeat)
Oh darling

You Can't Catch Me
I bought a brand new airmobile It was custom made It was a Flight DeVille With an powerful motor And some hideaway wings Push in on the button and you can hear her sing Now you can't catch me No, baby, you can't catch me Cause if you get too close You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
New Jersey Turnpike in the wee wee hours I was rolling slowly 'cause of drizzlin' showers Here come old flattop he was movin' up with me Then come wavin' goodbye In a little old souped up jitney I put my foot in my tank and I begin to roll Moanin' sirens, t'was the state patrol So I let out my wings and then I blew my horn Bye-bye New Jersey I become airborne
Now you can't catch me No, baby you can't catch me Cause if you get too close You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
Flyin' with my baby last Saturday night Wasn't a gray cloud floatin' in sight Big full moon shinin' up above Cuddle up honey be my love Sweetest little thing that I ever seen I'm gonna name you Mabelline Flyin' on the beam set on flight control Radio tuned to rock 'n' roll Two, three hours a-passin' by Altitude dropped to 505 Fuel consumption way too fast Let's get on home before we run out of gas
Now you can't catch me No baby, you can't catch me Cause if you get too close

Downbound Train Chuck Berry
A stranger lying on a bar room floor Had drank so much he could drink no more, And so he fell asleep with a troubled brain To dream that he rode on that down bound train.
The engine with blood was sweaty and damp And brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp, And imps for fuel was shoveling bones While the furnace rang with a thousand groans.
The boiler was filled with lots of beer The devil himself was the engineer, The passengers were most a motley crew, Some were foreigners and others he knew.
Rich men and lost beggars in rags Handsome young ladies and wicked old hags. As the train rushed on at a terrible pace Sulphuric fumes scorched their hands and face,
Wider and wider the country grew Faster and faster the engine flew, Louder and louder the thunder crashed Brighter and brighter the lighting flashed,
Hotter and hotter the air became Til their clothes were burned with each quivering refrain. Then out of the din there came a yell Ha ha said the devil we're nearing home,
Oh how the passengers shrieked with pain They go to satan with this down bound train. The stranger awoke with an anguished cry His clothes wet with sweat and his hair standing high,
He fell on his knees on the bar room floor And prayed a prayer like never before. And the prayers and vows were not in vain

No Money Down
As I was motivatin' Back in town I saw a Cadillac sign Sayin' "No Money Down" So I eased on my brakes And I pulled in the drive Gunned my motor twice Then I walked inside Dealer came to me Said "Trade in you Ford And I'll put you in a car That'll eat up the road Just tell me what you want And then sign on that line And I'll have it brought down to you In a hour's time"
I'm gonna get me a car And I'll be headed on down the road Then I won't have to worry About that broken - down, ragged Ford
"Well Mister I want a yellow convertible Four - door de Ville With a Continental spare And a wide chrome wheel I want power steering And power brakes I want a powerful motor With a jet off - take I want air condition I want automatic heat And I want a full Murphy bed In my back seat I want short - wave radio I want TV and a phone You know I gotta talk to my baby When I'm ridin' alone"
Yes I'm gonna get that car And I'm gonna head on down the road Yeah, then I won't have to worry About that broken - down, ragged Ford
"I want four carburetors And two straight exhausts I'm burnin' aviation fuel No matter what that cost I want railroad air horns And a military spot And I want a five - year guarantee On everything I got I want ten - dollar deductible I want twenty dollar notes I want thirty thousand liability" That's all she wrote
I got me a car And I'm headed on down the road No money down I don't have to worry
