Way down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans
Nestled in the pines among the evergreen
There is an old cabin of earth and wood
Where 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 a ringin' 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
Sit up in the trees 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 would stop and say
"Whoa, my, I bet that little country boy could play"
Go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Johnny B. Goode
ย
His papa told him, "Someday you will be a man"
You will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
May you play your music when the sun go down
Someday your name gonna be in lights
Sayin' "Johnny B. Goode tonight," whoa!
Go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Yeah, Johnny B. Goode
