Goodnight, Well It's Time To Go
| words and music by | Chuck Berry |
| also known as | Bonsoir Cherie | |
| also known as | It's Time To Go | in Rock'n'Roll Poet (Isalee Music Publishing, USA, 1979) |
| The song 'Goodnight Well It's Time To Go' is an adaptation of 'Goodnite Sweetheart Goodnite' by The Spaniels written by Calvin Carter and James 'Pookie' Hudson. These are credited on the original Mercury release of the Berry recording just because of the opening line of two words, but Chuck’s song contains different lyrics than the original. |
