Chuck Berry Coyote Man
Chuck Berry Coyote Man
Coyoteman he was very bored.
This country I made it ain't wild no more.
He made a guitar out of a buffalo bone.
Played a brand new sound, called it rock and roll.
Coyoteman say "Set me free!"
Turned himself into a brown skinned child
"Just call my name Johnny B Goode.
I'll rip it up and shake em up and drive em wild."
Staying one step ahead of the law,
Try catch him if you think you can.
He's everywhere in the juke box,
All around the world from Bangkok to Texarkan.
Roll over Beethoven tell 'em the news,
Sing hail hail Rock 'n Roll,
Chuck Berry teachin' rhythm and blues,
And Old Man Coyote he provide the soul.
Chuck Berry Coyote Man,
Chuck Berry Coyote Man,
Chuck Berry Coyote Man,
Spreading the seeds all over this land.
Chuck Berry and Maybelline,
Nadine in the back seat too,
Drivin' round with Sweet Little Sixteen,
They be lookin' for Havana Moon.
Drivin' V8 fast all day.
A new town another song.
Give me the money and then I'll play.
Then it's back out on the road til dawn.
Chuck Berry Coyoteman (3x)Drivin' that V8 fast as he can.
Chuck Berry meet Apache Girl.
Apache Girl wanna be his friend.
Take ya back up to old St. Lou,
For three years in the federal pen.
Three years in the federal pen.
Bad day for Rock 'N Roll.
Coyote Man had to pay the price
For living too free and lovin too bold.
Chuck Berry Coyote Man (3x)
Duck walking Ding a ling in his hand.
Chuck Berry met Stagger Lee
Shining shoes by the railroad track.
"Chuck Berry," say Stagger Lee,
"You never can die and you can't go back.
Yonder come that mystery train,
Ready to steal your soul again.
You made a mark it shall remain.
You stung with the dust,
You gone with the wind.
Chuck Berry Coyote Man (3x)
Hail hail rock 'n roll let it never end.
