Some people live each week in fun and play
From sweat by you and by me While we must toil so long each day Just to stay alive and free Some people live in homes, so content and reposed Unrushed through all the woe While we share that woe With those who have no woe at all Some people live with much and care the least If war should end or stay While we, with less, pay more for peace Uum, why should it be this way ? Oh, the day's sure to come When we would have to live In love and peace and happiness And we will have the will to love And to give to those who do have less |

You said you was hurting, almost lost your mind,
And the man you love, he hurts you all the time. When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too. You love him more when you should love him less. I pick up behind him and take his mess. When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too. He love another woman and I love you, But you love him and stick to him like glue. When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too. Now you better leave him; he better put you down. Oh, I won't stand to see you pushed around. When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too. |

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 ringing a bell Go go Go Johnny go! Go Go Johnny go! Go Go Johnny go! Go Go Johnny go! Go Johnny B. Goode! He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track Oh, the engineer would see him sitting in the shade Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made The people passing by, they would stop and say Oh my, but that little country boy could play Go go Go Johnny go! Go Go Johnny go! Go Go Johnny go! Go Go Johnny go! Go Johnny B. Goode! His mother told him "Someday you will be a man, And you will be the leader of a big ol' band. Many people coming from miles around To hear you play your music when the sun go down Maybe someday your name'll be in lights Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight." Go go Go Johnny go Go go go Johnny go Go go go Johnny go Go go go Johnny go Go Johnny B. Goode |

Rain eyes that blur the rays of sunshine
When all you see is seen through tears The whole world seems as though it's crying Rain eyes, that's how my world appears One sunny day in Lou'siana The clouds began to hover low And darkness came in early evening And brought a rain that would not go I's just a child when mother told me It seems your father's gone away It's not his fault, my child, forgive him I should have known he would not stay You're so much like him and he loves you But now his love's for only you Although he forced himself to leave you Forgiving me he could not do Rain eyes that cloud the hope of sunshine When everything is seen through tears The whole world seems as though it's crying Rain eyes, that's how my world appears It rains all evening into nighttime Then rains all night and through the day My mother's eyes are weak from crying Forgive her, she just lost her way Since you've been gone her eyes have clouded And darkness reigns her weary view She'd see again from your returning That God knows she's in love with you One rainy day in Louisiana The trade winds blew the clouds away A mother heard her boy shout, "Father" My God, 'tis him, he's come to stay |

When he was a child, just a baby boy
He wanted to play rock music and sing some songs of joy When he started school, he just could pat his feet The first song he ever learned had a strong boogie beat Come on now Rock it, rock it, rock it along Roll it, roll it, roll it on Git it, git it, git it on Got it, got it, got it and gone Then one day it happened, they hauled him off to war Way over there in no man's land, just him and his guitar Nobody near to love him, nobody ever sent him news What could a poor boy do at night, but to sit down and sing them blues Early one morning they called him, oh, what a beautiful day They packed him in an old army plane and flew him back home to stay He landed in Clark Air base, but didn't have no place to go So he sit down with his guitar in the middle of the street and gave everybody a free show. |

He met this girl from Pennsylvania stuck by his side in love and war Fearful and fussy, but so faithful, poor and devoted, real and true She's not the type to be forsaken and I see much of her in you While on a gig up in Toronto during a pause between his show He met this foxy German stallion who understood him head to toe She played it smart and learned his weakness and made him confess and yield into Her lustful whims became his fancy and I would fear the same from you Then in the swank suburbs of Houston off in a mansion built of stone Escorted by this wealthy widow into her lounge and left alone Her maid announced that she was waiting for him to come and rendezvous Where he bestowed a long relation one like I hope to have with you Then on the sands right off the ocean just as the sun sank in the sea So did my buddy slow and easy into a freak of fancy-free It was a group in automation getting together two by two Where people live and love one another, people who live like me and you Then on the beach in warm Miami there was a teacher far from school Taught him the way to please a woman, made him concede the Golden Rule He learned to do it unto others as he used to just have them do So they began to come together as I will try to do with you And there was one who was a virgin, never been touched by anyone She was as pure as any angel, in fact she's called to be a nun But it was all because my buddy just couldn't spoil a girl so true And so he left her as he found her, like I may have to do with you The girl he's got now, he's never left her, she was the first I thought he'd shun Until I saw my buddy's eyes, when she came forth and bore his son Since then he's known no other woman, I think his ramblin' days are through They built a home up in the country, a life I'd love to build with you Although you've never known my buddy and I am sure he don't know you But you know the life he's living and all of the changes he's been through Sweetheart, I'm talking about my buddy 'cause I don't want to wind up blue I could be happy with you only 'cause I see all of them in you |

I guess I'll go to California
Seems like I'm always on the run Nobody ever needs a loser We just exist under the sun But someday, somehow, someone may need me When my drifting days are done Well, I'm aimlessly drifting Looks like I live from day to day Hard as I try to make a showing Something is always in my way Even the one I truly love now Deals in the games that people play Every time I love I always lose Seems like I'll never ever win Each I hear them lonesome blues I'm all alone at home again Seems like I'm just existing Aimlessly drifting to no end All that I ask of this old world Is just to have a happy home All that I ask of one little girl Is just to be my very own It seems just like I'm just existing Aimlessly drifting along Yes, I'll go to California Seems like I'm always on the run Nobody ever needs a loser I just exist under the sun But someday, somehow, someone may need me But my drifting days be done |

(Spoken:)
Lord have mercy, got to tell it, tell it just like it is, every word. Yeah! I was living in St. Louis In the year of nineteen fifty five Mama didn’t have no great mansion, Just a little old country dive. Papa worked all week long, Try 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 class 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 Can’t help it, but I love it Stand here, sing to you Brings back so many memories Many things we used to do ’till I see you here again Take care, good luck to you |

Hello, I'm just a fan who had to call you on the phone
Someone you won't remember of the many that you own I'm just a name within your past you met while all alone Someone who shared a love with you and stayed behind unknown I know I'm only someone else in love with you in vain I wish I could have helped myself, but love is so much pain It makes me feel that there is still a chance that may remain That you will someday surely come and give me love again I knew your love would never be as deep as mine for you And I knew that these many nights I'd be alone and blue And lie awake while you forsake the only love I knew And never learn that you'll return and we would live it through Each time I dream a dream, I dream we're cuddled arm in arm It seems you're looking straight at me, when I see you perform Sometimes I think you see my face become so shy and warm I often wonder if you know the power in your charms Please, let me say I still love you before you hang the phone And I am proud to once have shared the beauty that you own I'm just a name within your past you met while all alone Someone who shared a love with you and stayed behind unknown |
