CC,
The lyrics are not from Keno's. Please point out the errors, that's what this thread is all about!

oops, sorry René!... well, there's nothing too bad, just a few phrases that could be more natural, like:
Well, she drew out all her money at the Southern Trust
And put her little boy aboard a Greyhound bus.
Leaving Lou-siana for the golden West,
Down came the tears from her happiness.
Her own little son named Johnny B. Goode
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood
Hollering bye bye bye bye!
Now bye bye bye bye!
Bye bye Johnny, bye bye Johnny B. Goode!
Well, she remembered taking money earned from gathering crops
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker's shop.
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble, she'd be satisfied
But she never thought there'd ever come a day like this,
When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss.
Hollering bye bye bye bye!
Now bye bye bye bye!
Bye bye Johnny, bye bye Johnny B. Goode!
Well, she finally got the letter she was dreaming of.
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love.
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
And build a mansion for her by the railroad tracks.
And everytime they heard the locomotive roar
They'd be a-standing, a-waving in the kitchen door
Hollering bye bye bye bye!
Now bye bye bye bye!
Bye bye Johnny, bye bye Johnny B. Goode!

It's just a cover tune. No one plays Chuck Berry like Chuck Berry.
Funnily, Keith is worshipped for his covering of Chuck, and for some, his Berry-ing is the definitive sound of the band. I've never prescribed to that. I've heard other groups do much more interesting thing with Berry's songs.

I'd call that nit picking!

Their version of Bye Bye Johnny circa 1972 demolishes any other version...Berry's original included. It is the Stones at their rollicking best...

Sorry, but the Stones' released version from 1964 is better.
