Got It And Gone lyrics

Artist  : Chuck Berry 
Song : Got It And Gone
 
When he was a child, just a baby boy
He wanted to play rock music and sing some songs
of joy
When he started school, he just could pat his
feet
The first song he ever learned had a strong
boogie beat

Come on now
Rock it, rock it, rock it along
Roll it, roll it, roll it on
Git it, git it, git it on
Got it, got it, got it and gone

Then one day it happened, they hauled him off to
war
Way over there in no man's land, just him and his
guitar
Nobody near to love him, nobody ever sent him
news
What could a poor boy do at night, but to sit
down and sing them blues

Early one morning they called him, oh, what a
beautiful day
They packed him in an old army plane and flew him
back home to stay
He landed in Clark Air base, but didn't have no
place to go
So he sit down with his guitar in the middle of
the street and gave everybody a free
show.
