chuck berry - bio lyrics

Loading...

(spoken:) lord have mercy, got to tell it, tell it just like it is, ev暮y word.

yeah! i was living in st. louis
in the year of nineteen fifty five
mama didnæš° have no great mansion,
just a little old country dive.
papa worked all week long,
try暧?to keep us six kids alive.

so i hitch hiked to chicago
just to hear muddy waters play
i sat and listened to him sing
until the early hours of day
i asked him what i could do to make it
and it was he who showed me the way

i went back home and wrote a song
and made a record i could claim
the little tune jumped on the charts
and rode me right on up to fame
it netted over ten thousand dollars
and added glory to my name

i was standing at the airport
with my guitar in my hand
and a first cl-ss ticket
destination movie land
i will be in hollywood, mama
before the roosters crow again

when i first started playing music
over sixteen years ago
every big town in the country
from st. francisco to baltimore
trying to bring some happy hours
doing the only thing i know

canæš° help it, but i love it
stand here, sing to you
brings back so many memories
many things we used to do
æ…£ill i see you here again
take care, good luck to you
