Festival |
Having a nationwide festival for fourteen days and nights |
Ah, there’s fifty four bands on a river boat spot in the lights |
Hundred of vans and tents all on the banks of the Ohio |
Bandstands floating from Paducah to Cairo |
Be over a million freaks there digging the sights |
There’s so many beautiful people there to love and cheer |
Some of the greatest guitar playing in the western hemisphere |
Got the Who, the Band from across the north border Canned Heat |
The Fifth Dimension, Creedence Clearwater |
Oh, brother Hendrix, sister Joplin, we wish you were here |
Early in the morning Johnny Cash and old Elvis got loose |
By noon, Vanilla Fudge and the Woolies start paying their dues |
All evening Ike Turner and Aretha right with the Drifters |
And the Coasters in the Loading Zone |
All night Howling Wolf and Muddy waters in a battling mood |
Oh, what a beautiful show, was sitting right up under the microphone |
Digging the Grateful Dead, Little Richard and the Rolling Stones |
Ray Charles, Led Zeppelin and the Everly Brothers |
Bad Bo Diddley and the Beatles and some others |
Everybody’s laying back and freaking out all week long |
