Berry Chuck The Festival Lyrics

The Festival Lyrics

Havin' a nationwide festival for fourteen days and nights

 Ah, there's fifty four bands on a river boat spot in the lights

 Hundred of bands and tents all on the banks of the Ohio

 Bandstands floatin' from Paducah to Cairo

 Be over a million freaks there diggin' the sights

 

 There's so many beautiful people there to love and cheer

 Some of the greatest guitar playin' in the western hemisphere

 Got the Who, the Band from across the north border Canned Heat

 The Fifth Dimension, Creedence Clearwater

 Oh, brother Hendrix, sister Joplin, we wish you were here

 

 Early in the mornin' Johnny Cash and old Elvis got loose

 The Who, Vanilla Fudge and the Woolies start paying their dues

 All evening Ike Turner and Aretha right on the Drifters

 And the Coasters and the Loading Zone

 All night Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters in a battlin' mood

 

 Oh, what a beautiful show, was sitting right up under the microphone

 Diggin' the Grateful Dead, Little Richard and the Rolling Stones

 Ray Charles, Led Zeppelin and the Everly Brothers

 Bad Bo Diddley and the Beatles and some others

 Everybody's laying back and freaking out all week long
