Artist: Elvis Presley
Album: Aloha From Hawaii
Title: Johnny B. Good

(words & music by chuck berry)
Deep down in louisiana close to new orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
Stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named johnny b. good
Who never learned to read or write at all
But he could play the guitar just like ringing a bell

Go, go, go johnny go, go, go johnny, go go
Go johnny go, go, go johnny go go
Johnny b. good

His mama told him "someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear your playing music when the sun goes down
Maybe someday you will be in lights saying johnny b. good"

Greenday also do a version

As I'm a native St Louisan I can say proudly that it was Chuck Berry - the guy that scoots across the stage with his red guitar lol.. he also does "Maybeline" and "My Ding-a-ling" which is one of my favorites it's histarical a must listen to if you don't know it! He has a star here in St Louis on our walk of fame. Hope that helps. (Btw it's Johnny B. Goode)
