Slade – Johnny Played the Guitar

Johnny Played the Guitar LyricsJohnny played the guitar down in Mississippi
Suzie worked the stray bar, she was kind of pretty
Coming out of Memphis, never tried to fake it
Working for a dollar, trying hard to make it

Oh, what sweet devotion
Oh, what true emotion
Step by step, hand in hand

I got this crazy feeling
Floating out on the ceiling
Looking for the promised land
What you say?

Ooh
Johnny said to Suzie can you ever get lonely?
We can be a success, I’m talking bout your money
But Johnny kept a-rocking, nobody could stop him
He’s gonna make it big time, Suzie and her star sign

Oh, what sweet devotion
Oh, what true emotion
Step by step, hand in hand

I got this crazy feeling
Floating out on the ceiling
Looking for the promised land

Oh, what sweet devotion
Oh, what true emotion
Step by step, hand in hand

I got this crazy feeling
Floating out on the ceiling
Looking for the promised land

Poor Johnny
On the guitar now
Oh, what sweet devotion
Oh, what true emotion
Step by step, hand in hand

I got this crazy feeling
Floating out on the ceiling
Looking for the promised land

Good, good
