Way down in Louisiana close to 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
He never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell
Go, go, go, Johnny go, go
Go, Johnny go, go, go, Johnny go, go
Go, Johnny go, go, Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
The engineers would see him sitting in the shade
Strumming to the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passing by, they would stop and say
"My, my, but that little country boy can play!"
Go, go, go, Johnny go, go, go
Go, Johnny go, go, go, Johnny go, go, go
Go, Johnny go, go, go, Johnny B. Goode

Well, 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
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight"
Go, go, go, Johnny go
Go, go, go, Johnny go
Go, go, go, Johnny go
Go, go, go, Johnny go
Go, go, go, hey, hey, Johnny B. Goode
Yeah, Johnny
Be good
