Lyrics
Way down in Louisiana close to New Orleans Nestled in the pines among the evergreens There is 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 the guitar just like ringing a bell Go go, go Johnny go, go; go Johnny go, go Go Johnny go, go; go Johnny go, go Hey, Johnny B. Goode He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack Go sit up in the trees by the railroad track The engineers seen him sitting in the shade Strumming to the rhythm that the drivers made The people passing by would all stop and say "Whoa, my, that little country boy can play!" Go go, go Johnny go, go; go Johnny go, go Go Johnny go, go; go Johnny 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 coming from miles around Will hear you play your music when the sun goes down Someday your name gonna be in lights Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight" Whoa, go Johnny go, go; go Johnny go, go Go Johnny go, go; go Johnny go, go Johnny B. Goode
