Lyrics
Well, she blew all her money on the Southern track
And put her little boy aboard a Greyhound bus
Leaving Louisiana for the Golden West
The child gave her tears of happiness
Oh little son, be Johnny B. Goode
We're going to make some more money down in Hollywood
Hollering bye bye bye bye
Hollering bye bye bye bye
Hollering bye bye Johnny
Goodbye Johnny B. Goode
She remembered taking money from gathered crops
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broken shop
As long as he was playing by the railroad side
He wouldn't get in trouble, she was satisfied
But never had she thought that there would come a day like this
When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss
Hollering bye bye bye bye
Hollering bye bye bye bye
Hollering bye bye Johnny
Goodbye Johnny B. Goode
She finally got the letter she was dreaming of
When Johnny wrote and told her he was having love
As soon as he was married he would take a fag
And buy himself a mansion by the railroad track
So every time the hearing locomotive roared
He'd be standing and waving at her kitchen door
Hollering bye bye bye bye
Hollering bye bye bye bye bye
Hollering bye bye Johnny
Goodbye Johnny B. Goode
Hollering bye bye Johnny
Goodbye Johnny B. Goode
Hollering bye bye Johnny
Goodbye Johnny B. Goode
Hollering bye bye bye
