|
Way down Louisiana close to New Orleans, |
|
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens... |
|
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood, |
|
Where lived a country boy name of Johnny B. Goode... |
|
He never ever learned to read or write so well, |
|
But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell. |
|
Go Go |
|
Go Johnny Go |
|
Go Go |
|
Johny be good |
|
He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack |
|
And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track. |
|
Oh, the engineers used to see him sitting in the shade, |
|
Playing to the rhythm that the drivers made. |
|
People passing by would stop and say |
|
Oh my that little country boy could play |
|
Go Go |
|
Go Johnny Go |
|
Go Go |
|
Johny be good |
|
His mama told him someday he would be a man, |
|
And he would be the leader of a big old band. |
|
Many people coming from miles around |
|
To hear him play his music when the sun go down |
|
Maybe someday his name would be in lights |
|
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight. |
