Chuck Berry Blues

It was back in St. Louis that He learned the guitar, And he told everyone he was Going to go far, Back in ’56 his music came of age He was dancing and driving Right across the stage. Go, go, go Chuck Berry, go, Go, go, go, Chuck Berry, go Tell Elvis Presley the news, We got the Chuck Berry Blues. He would bang on his guitar, Just like clanging a bell, He was yelling out his song so Loud, they had to sell And his body was Black, and his Songs were blue With the rhythm up front To help the people dance to. Go, go, go Chuck Berry, go, Go, go, go, Chuck Berry, go Tell the Beatles the news We got the Chuck Berry Blues. His guitar was red, and his Audience was white, And he’d sing and they would Dance into the night, They were kicking off their Shoes so they could pound Their feet, They were rocking and reeling To the two-four beat. Go, go,go, Chuck Berry, go, Go, go, go, Chuck Berry, go Tell Mick Jagger the news We go the Chuck Berry Blues. He lost a little time in 1959, When they took him aside to Make him walk the line, But Bo Diddly cut him loose, And Chuck Berry was free To chase Maybelline across History
