This song was released in in 1963 when Berry was released from prison after serving 18 months, the weaving lyrics and ska-like rhythm from the great Johnnie Johnson make it a classic.
"
I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat,
I thought I saw my future bride walking up the street,
I shouted to the driver hey conductor, you must slow down.
I think I see her please let me off this bus "
