Well she drew out all her money from the southern trust |
|
And put her little boy aboard a greyhound bus |
|
Leaving louisianna for the golden west |
|
Down came the tears from her happiness |
|
Her own little son, named johnny b. goode |
|
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in hollywood |
|
I said bye bye bye bye |
|
I said bye bye bye bye |
|
I said bye bye johnny bye bye johnny b. goode |
|
She remembered making money out from gathering crops |
|
Buying johnny's guitar at a broker shop |
|
As long as he would play it by the railroad side |
|
And wouldn't get in trouble she'll be satisfied |
|
Never thought there'd ever come a day like this |
|
When she got to give her son a goodbye kiss |
|
I said bye bye bye bye |
|
I said bye bye bye bye |
|
I said bye bye johnny bye bye johnny b. goode |
|
Well she finally got the letter she was dreaming of |
|
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love |
|
As soon as he was married he would bring her back |
|
And build a mansion for them by the railroad track |
|
Every time they heard a locomotiv roar |
|
They'd be standing, a waiting by the kitchen door |
|
I said bye bye bye bye |
|
I said bye bye bye bye bye |
|
I said bye bye johnny bye bye johnny b. goode |
|
I said bye bye bye bye |
|
I said bye bye bye bye |
|
I said bye bye johnny bye bye johnny b. goode |
|
I said bye bye bye bye |
|
I said bye bye bye bye |
|
I said bye bye johnny bye bye johnny b. goode |
|
I said bye bye bye bye |
|
I said bye bye bye bye |
|
I said bye bye johnny bye bye johnny b. goode |
|
I said bye bye bye bye |
|
I said bye bye bye bye bye |
|
I said bye bye johnny bye bye johnny b. goode |
