Johnny B. Goode
French Title: Johnny, Reviens!
Composer(s): Chuck Berry Performer(s): Chuck Berry; The Beatles
Way down 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 name of Johnny B. Goode... He never ever learned to read or write so well But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell
Go Go Go Johnny Go Go Go Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track Oh, the engineers used to see him sitting in the shade Playing to the rhythm that the drivers made People passing by would stop and say Oh my that little country boy could play
His mama told him someday he would be a man And he would be the leader of a big old band Many people coming from miles around To hear him play his music when the sun go down Maybe someday his name would be in lights Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight

I Got Stoned And I Missed It Composer(s): Shel Silverstein Performer(s): Shel Silverstein and multiple other artists
I was sitting in my basement I just rolled myself a taste Of something green and gold and glorious To get me through the day Then my friend yelled through the transom "Grab your coat and get your hat son There's a nut down on the corner Givin' dollar bills away"
But I laid around a bit Then I had another hit Then I rolled myself a bauma Then I thought about my mama Then I fooled around, played around Jacked around a while and then...
I got stoned and I missed it I got stoned and I missed it I got stoned and it rolled right by I got stoned and I missed it I got stoned and I missed it I got stoned... oh me... oh my
It took seven months of urgin' Just to get that local virgin With the sweet face, up to my place To fool around a bit Next day she woke up rosy And she snuggled up so cozy When she asked me how I liked it Lord it hurts me to admit...
I got stoned and I missed it I got stoned and I missed it I got stoned and it rolled right by I got stoned and I missed it I got stoned and I missed it I got stoned... oh me... oh my
I'm makin' no excuses For the many things I uses Just to sweeten up my relationships And brighten up my day When my earthly race is over And I'm ready for the clover And they ask me how my life has been I guess I'll have to say...
I got stoned and I missed it I got stoned and I missed it I got stoned and it rolled right by I got stoned and I missed it I got stoned and I missed it I got stoned... oh me... oh my

Days can be sunny, with never a sigh Don't need what money can buy Birds in the trees sing their day full of song Why shouldn't we sing along?
I'm chipper all the day, happy with my lot How do I get that way? Look at what I've got
I got rhythm, I got music I got my man Who could ask for anything more? I got daisys, in green pastures I got my man Who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble I don't mind him You won't find him 'round my door I got starlight I got sweet dreams I got my man Who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble I don't mind him You won't find him, 'round my door I got startlight I got sweet dreams I got my man Who could ask for anything more?

John Riley Composer(s): Phil Belmonte; Bob Gibson Performer(s): Joan Baez; and various other artists
Fair young maid all in her garden Strange young man come riding by Saying fair young maid will you marry me? And this dear sir was her reply
Oh no dear sir I cannot marry thee For I've a love who sails the deep salt sea Though he's been gone for seven years Still no man shall marry me
What if he's died all in some battle slain? Or if he's drownded in the deep salt sea What if he's found another love He and his new love both married be?
Well if he's died all in some battle slain Or if he's drownded in the deep salt sea I'll remember his good name And still no man shall marry me
And if he's found some other love He and his true love both married be I wish them health and happiness Where they now live all across the sea
He picked her up all in his arms And kisses gave her one two and three Saying weep no more my own true love For I'm your long lost John Riley Saying weep no more my own true love For I'm your long lost John Riley
Sensation Composer(s): Pete Townshend First release: The Who - 1969
Tommy: I overwhelm as I approach you make your lungs hold breath inside! Lovers break caresses for me love enhanced when I've gone by You'll feel me coming a new vibration From afar you'll see me I'm a sensation They worship me and all I touch hazy eyed they catch my glance Pleasant shudders shake their senses my warm momentum throws their stance You'll feel me coming a new vibration From afar you'll see me I'm a sensation I leave a trail of rooted people mesmerised by just the sight The few I touched now are disciples Love as One, I Am the Light... Soon you'll see me, can't you feel me I'm coming... Send your troubles dancing, I know the answer I'm coming... I'm a sensation

John Looked Down Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie
Chorus: Lying on the side of the road Feeling like he heard a sound Shivered with the feelin' that he knowed John looked down, John looked down John looked down the long, long road
She gave John a present that was fine So fine that he had to go Went to see what it was that he knowed John looked down, John looked down John looked down the long, long road
And I know it's hard But what did you expect of her? John looked down
If you see the lady in your mind Even in her nothingness Standing through the darkest night And the people want to fight But first ask if it's all right John looked down, John looked down John looked down the long, long road
Chorus
And I know it's hard But what did you expect of her? John looked down
Smash The Mirror Composer(s): Pete Townshend First release: The Who - 1969
Mother: You don't answer my call, with even a nod or a twitch but you gaze at your own reflection! You don't seem to see me, but I think you can see yourself How can the mirror affect you? Can you hear me, or do I surmise that you fear me, can you feel my temper rise? Do you hear or fear or do I smash the mirror? Do you hear or fear or do I smash the mirror? Smash!
And I went down to a big crap game 'Twas certainly against my will I lost every doggone nickel I had But a greenback dollar bill Forty dollar that laid on the floor My buddy's point was nine Well, the police they come in there And caught all of 'em But I got mine
I got mine, let me tell ya I got mine I grabbed that money Out the back door I went flying Well, ever since the big crap game I've been livin' on chicken and wine I'm the leader of society Since I got mine
I know a barber shop It's a way cross town Down on Norfolk street It's the only place on a Saturday night That us gamblers gets to meet Some comes for a haircut And others come for a scrap And when you see me and my buddies up there, man We means to shoot some crap Hollering: "Seven, eleven, won't you come, come, come!!! If you don't seven, eleven them You're done, done, done" If I see the police before he sees me I'm gonna run, run, run I'm the leader of society Since I got mine
Well, I went down to my best girl's house The hour was just about nine I wasn't dressed up like Henry Ford But I was feeling just as fine I caught her sitting on another man's knee And I didn't like that sign Well, I told them what I thought about it, boys And I got mine
I got mine, I got mine I grabbed my hat and through the window I went flying I ran as fast as I could run But I didn't get there in time Because the rascal grabbed a shotgun, Lord And I got mine
John Lennon's Guitar Composer(s): John Lees Performer(s): Barclay James Harvest
Back in the autumn of Seventy On the night shift at Abbey Road Four young men were recording a song named 'Galadriel' For an album they'd call "once again" The producer was Norman Smith Who'd engineered with the Beatles and John Whose guitar was to be instrumental that day When I came to play
I remember it well, as if it was yesterday The day that I played John Lennon's guitar I remember it well, as if it was yesterday The day that I played John Lennon's guitar
Back in the autumn of Seventy As I played on my borrowed guitar How could I know the Beatles would split the next day My heroes break up and go their own way
Now autumns they come and they go But my friends and my memories remain And my heroes, well some of them fell from the stage But their light still remains
I remember it well, as if it was yesterday The day that I played John Lennon's guitar I remember it well, as if it was yesterday The day that I played John Lennon's guitar
I remember the day I remember the day I remember the day I remember the day The day that I played John Lennon's guitar I remember the day, as if it was yesterday And I know that the memories will never fade I remember the day, as if it was yesterday The day that I played John Lennon's guitar
I Got Mexico Composer(s): Frank J. Myers; Eddy Raven Performer(s): Eddy Raven and multiple other artists
I just got tired of that same old job Tired of fightin' that freeway mob I bet you never thought I'd really go I'd never get as far as Mexico

Through it all nothing's really changed No matter what honey that's a shame I still love you that's the way it goes He's got you, I've got Mexico
But I'm eatin' right and I'm livin' good Doin' everything I said I would I should have left a long time ago Who needs you? I got Mexico
I'm eatin' right and I'm livin' good Doin' everything I said I would I should have left a long time ago Who needs you? I got Mexico
I'm eatin' right and I'm livin' good Doin' everything I said I would I should have left a long time ago Who needs you? I got Mexico ...
