Johnny B. Goode Songtext

Yeah, deep down in Louisiana Close to New Orleans Way back up in the woods Among the Evergreens Oh, there stood an old 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 But he can play a guitar Just like ringing a bell Tell em go Yeah, let Johnny go Go, yeah, Johnny, go Go, yeah, Johnny, go Go, yeah, Johnny, go Go, yeah, Johnny B. Goode He used to carry his Guitar in a gunny sack Sit beneath the trees By the railroad track And all the engineers would See him sitting in the shade Strumming with the rhythm That the drivers made And all the people passing by Would stop and say Oh my, but that little Country boy can play Go, go Yeah, Johnny, go Go, Johnny, go, yeah Go, yeah, Johnny, go Go, go, Johnny, go Go, yeah, Johnny B. Goode Lemme hear you play it Yes, his mother told him Someday you will be a man And you will be the leader Of a big old band And many people come From miles around To hear you play your music Till the sun go down Yeah, maybe someday Your name would be in lights Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight Go, yeah, Johnny, go Go, oh, go, Johnny, go Yeah, go, play that thing Yeah, say it again Go, go, Johnny, go Go, yeah, Johnny B. Goode
