Birth Of Rock & Roll Testo

Carl and greg perkins
Well nashville had country music but memphis had the soul
Lord, the white boy had the rhythm and that started rock and roll
And I was here when it happened don❝t you all think I ought to know
I was here when it happened, yeah, yeah, yeah
I watched memphis give birth to rock and roll, lord, lord yeah.
Well the cat named elvis be-bopped in to sun right off the street
Sang ¡°blue moon¡± of oky but he did it with a brand new beat
Guess he sought him a sleeping world and out there by surprise
Jack ¡®em up, you rang them out and he❝ hung ¡®em out to dry
I was there when it happened, don❝t you all think I ought to know, lord, lord
Yeah I was here when it happened I watched memphis give birth to rock and roll
Here❝s kinda the way it happened
Well the drummer boy was the beatin❝ on the drums a rockin❝ and a goin❝ wild
The real city slicker was clickin❝ and clackin❝ and doin❝ it in a different style
Hit car strumming a beat and a pumpin❝ and the lead man picking out the blues
Hip-shaking singer was a swinging and a swinging saying some style blue suede shoes
And I was here when it happened, lord I think I ought to know, yeah, yeah
Folks I was here when it happened I watched memphis give birth to rock and roll
What you think about it little guitar c❝mon son
Some folks called it the devils music others said it wouldn❝t last long
31 years since we started shakin❝ proves somebody was wrong
The 64❝s, the beatles and the four were rock and roll❝s best friends
The beatles and the stones brought the old beat home
And world went crazy again I was here when it happened
My friend I think I ought to know, yeah , yeah
Well I was there when it happened
I watched memphis give birth to rock and roll
Lord yeah, c❝mon
