Johnny b. goode Songtext
Deep down in Lou'siana, close to New Orleans

Way back up in the woods among the evergreens

There stood an old cabin made of earth and wood

Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode

Who'd never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar just like a ringin' a bell



Go! Go!

Go! Johnny! Go! Go!

Go! Johnny! Go! Go!

Go! Johnny! Go! Go!

Go! Johnny! Go! Go!

Johnny B. Goode



He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track

Ol' engineer in the train sittin' in the shade

Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made

The people passin' by, they would stop and say

Oh my, but that little country boy could play



Go! Go!

Go! Johnny! Go! Go!

Go! Johnny! Go! Go!

Go! Johnny! Go! Go!

Go! Johnny! Go! Go!

Johnny B. Goode



His mother told him, "Someday you will be a man

And you will be the leader of a big old band

Many people comin' from miles around

To hear you play your music till the sun goes down

Maybe someday your name'll be in lights

A-sayin' Johnny B. Goode tonight"



Go! Go!

Go! Johnny! Go! Go!

Go! Johnny! Go! Go!

Go! Johnny! Go! Go!

Go! Johnny! Go! Go!

Johnny B. Goode
