Johny B. Goode Lyrics

Way down in Louisiana down in 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 named of Johnny B. Good

Who never ever learned to read or write so well

But he could play a guitar just like he's a-ringin' a bell

Go, go, go Johnny go

Go, go Johnny go go

Go, go Johnny go 

Go, go Johnny go go

Go, Johnny B. Goode

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack

And sit beneath the tree by the railroad track

The engineer could see him sittin' in the shade

Strummin' to the rhythm that the driver made

People passing by you know they'd stop and say

Oh my but that little country boy can play

Go, go, go Johnny go

Go, go Johnny go

Go, go, go Johnny go

Go, go, Johnny go go

Go, Johnny B. Good

Go, go, go Johnny go

Go, go Johnny go

Go, go, go Johnny go

Go, go, Johnny go go

Go, Johnny B. Good

Well his mama told him one day you will be a man

And You will be the leader of a big old band

People gonna come from miles around

To listen to you play it till the sun goes down

One day maybe your name gonna be in lights

Sayin' Johnny B. Good tonight

Go, go, go, go, Johnny go

Go, go Johnny go

Go, go, go Johnny go

Go, go Johnny go

Go, go Johnny B. Good
