Song title: Chuck Berry - Bio

Edit By: 216.73.216.13

(Spoken:) Lord have mercy, got to tell it, tell it just like it is, evry word.

Yeah! I was living in St. Louis
 In the year of nineteen fifty five
 Mama didnt have no great mansion,
 Just a little old country dive.
 Papa worked all week long,
 Tryn?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

Cant 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
