Johnny Winter:A Rock N' Roll

Johnny Winter Johnny Winter:A Rock N' Roll Lyrics
1.Johnny B. Goode

Lyricist:C. Berry

Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood an log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who never learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar just like ringing a bell

Go go
Go Johnny go go go
Go Johnny go go go
Go Johnny go go go
Go Johnny go go go
Go go Johnny B. Goode

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Sat beneath the tree by the railroad track
An engineer could 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, how that little country boy could play

His mother told him, someday you will be a man
You will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down
And maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight

If you don't think, hey, you're gonna be home soon
Oh, it's alright, I believe I'm gonna drown
Babe, in my own tears(my own tears)
Oh, I believe it's true, yeah
Into each life, some rain must surely fall
I'm so blue, every, every day without you,
And keep on raining, keep on raining
More and more and more, hey, hey
Why can't you
You know you ought to come on home
Then I won't, you know, be so all alone, alone

Lyricist:R. Johnson

When you gotta good friend
Let her stay right by your side
When you gotta good friend
Let her stay right by your side
Give all your spare time to her,
And treat her right

And I can't see no reason why, Lord,
Man I can't see no reason why
Everytime I think about it(hoo)
I hang my head and cry
Lord, I may be right or wrong
Hey, I may be right or wrong
Watch your close friend, baby
And it can't do you no wrong
There ain't but one thing, baby
That makes me drink
Say that you don't love me, Lord
I begin to think
Gotta good friend
Let her stay right by your side
Give her all your spare time
Love and treat her right
Lord, down at the riverside
Go on down at the riverside
No, you won't be my old lady
Man, 'til I get satisfied Mmmmm

Little girl, I may be right or wrong
Watch your close friends, baby
And your enemies can't do you no harm

8.Rock And Roll , Hoochie Koo

Lyricist:R. Derringer

I couldn't stop moving when it first took hold
It was a warm spring night in the ol' town hall
There was a group called The Jokers,
they were layin' it down
Don'tcha know I'm never gonna lose that funky sound

Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Lawdy mama light my fuse
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news

The skeeters start buzzing 'bout this time o' year
I'm goin' round back,
she said she'd meet me there
We were rollin' in the grass that grows behind the barn
When my ears started ringin' like a fire alarm

Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Lawdy mama light my fuse
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news

Hope ya'll know what I'm talkin' about
The way they wiggle that thing,
it really knocks me out
I'm gettin' high all the time,
hope ya'll are too
Well come-on a little closer,
gonna do it to you

Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Lawdy mama light my fuse
Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news

That I'm tired of payin' dues
Done said goodbye to all my blues
Lawdy mama light my fuse

20.Thirty Days


21.Come On In My Kitchen


22.Highway 61 Revisited

Lyricist:B. Dylan

Oh God said to Abraham, 'Kill me a son'
Abe says, 'Man, you must be puttin' me on'
God say, 'No.'
Abe say, 'What?'
God say, 'You can do what you want Abe, but now
The next time you see me comin' you better run'
Well Abe says, 'Where do you want this killin' done?'
God says, 'Out on Highway 61.'
Well Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose
Welfare Department they wouldn't give him no clothes
He asked poor Howard where can I go
Howard said there's only one place I know
Sam said tell me quick man
I got to run
0l' Howard just pointed with his gun
And said that way down on Highway 61.
Well Mack the Finger said to Louie the King
I got forty red white and blue shoe strings
And a thousand telephones that don't ring
Do you know where I can get rid of these things
And Louie the King said let me think for a minute son
And he said yes I think it can be easily done
Just take everything down to Highway 61.
Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
Told the first father that things weren't right
My complexion she said is much too white
He said come here and step
Into the light he says hmm you're right
Let me tell the second mother this has been done
But the second mother was with the seventh son
And they were both out on Highway 61.
Now the rovin' gambler he was very bored
He was tryin' to create a next world war
He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor
He said I never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yes I think it can be very easily done
We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun
And have it on Highway 61.
