|
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans |
|
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens |
|
There in an old cabin made of earth and wood |
|
There lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode |
|
He never learned to read or write so well |
|
But he could play a guitar like ringin' a bell |
|
Go, go, go Johnny go, go |
|
Go Johnny go, go |
|
Go Johnny go, go |
|
Go Johnny go, go |
|
Go Johnny B. Goode |
|
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack |
|
Go sit up in the trees by the railroad track |
|
The engineer has seen him sittin' in the shade |
|
Strummin' to the rhythm that the drivers made |
|
People passin' by would stop and say |
|
"Oh, my but that little country boy can play" |
|
Go, go, go Johnny go, go |
|
Go Johnny go, go |
|
Go Johnny go, go |
|
Go Johnny go, go |
|
Go Johnny B. Goode |
|
His mama told him, "Someday you will be a man |
|
You will be the leader of a big old band |
|
Many people comin' from miles around |
|
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down |
|
Maybe someday your name will be in lights |
|
Saying, 'Johnny B. Goode tonight'" |
|
Whoa, go, go Johnny go, go |
|
Go Johnny go, go |
|
Go Johnny go, go |
|
Go Johnny go, go |
|
Go Johnny B. Goode |
|
Go, go Johnny go, go |
|
Go Johnny go, go |
|
Go Johnny go, go |
|
Go Johnny go, go |
|
Go Johnny B. Goode |
