verse 1
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 Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
He could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell
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 Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
He could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell
chorus
Go, go, go Johnny go go
go Johnny go go go, go Johnny go go
go Johnny go go go, Johnny B. Goode
go Johnny go go go, go Johnny go go
go Johnny go go go, Johnny B. Goode
verse 2
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Or sit beneath the trees by the railroad track
The engineer could see him sitting in the shade
Strummin' through the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by you know they stop and say
Oh my but that little country boy sure can play
Or sit beneath the trees by the railroad track
The engineer could see him sitting in the shade
Strummin' through the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by you know they stop and say
Oh my but that little country boy sure can play
chorus
Go, go, go Johnny go go
go Johnny go go go, go Johnny go go
go Johnny go go go, Johnny B. Goode
go Johnny go go go, go Johnny go go
go Johnny go go go, Johnny B. Goode
[Instrumental Break]
verse 3
His mother 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 till the sun go down
And one day maybe your name gonna be in lights
Sayin' 'Johnny B. Goode tonight'
And you will be the leader of a big old band
People gonna come from miles around
To listen to you play till the sun go down
And one day maybe your name gonna be in lights
Sayin' 'Johnny B. Goode tonight'
chorus
Go, go, go, go Johnny go go
go Johnny go go go, go Johnny go go
go Johnny go go go, Johnny B. Goode
go Johnny go go go, go Johnny go go
go Johnny go go go, Johnny B. Goode
