Lyrics

[00:17.95] Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
[00:20.63] Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
[00:23.39] There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
[00:26.28] Where lived a country boy named Johnny B Goode
[00:29.10] Who never ever learned to read or write so well
[00:31.61] But he could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell
[00:34.26] Go go go Johnny go go
[00:38.33]
[00:38.95] Go Johnny go go
[00:41.81] Go Johnny go go
[00:44.69] Go Johnny go go
[00:47.75]
[00:48.44] Johnny B Goode
[00:51.48] He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
[00:54.64] Or sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
[00:57.33] Oh an engineer could see him sitting in the shade
[01:00.45] Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made
[01:03.26] People passing by they would stop and say
[01:05.69] Oh my but that little country boy could play
[01:08.55] Go go go Johnny go go
[01:13.18] Go Johnny go go
[01:16.05] Go Johnny go go
[01:18.85] Go Johnny go go
[01:21.87]
[01:22.74] Johnny B Goode
[01:24.11]
[02:00.71] His mother told him "some day you will be a man"
[02:03.57] And you will be the leader of a big old band
[02:06.39] Many people coming from miles around
[02:09.26] To hear you play your music till the sun go down
[02:12.13] Maybe someday your name gonna be in lights
[02:14.75] Sayin' 'Johnny B Goode tonight'
[02:16.89] Go go go Johnny go go
[02:20.40] Go go Johnny go go go
[02:23.60] Go Johnny go go go
[02:26.53] Go Johnny go go
[02:30.21]
[02:31.95] Johnny B Goode
