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
There lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell
Go, go, go, Johnny go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
I said, go, Johnny, go, go
Hey, hey, Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Many people lingered beneath the shade
Just to listen to the music that the drivers made
The people passing by, they would stop and say
"Oh my, can that little country boy play"
Go, go, go, Johnny go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Hey, hey, Johnny B. Goode
His mother told him "Someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people comin' from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight"
Go, go, go, Johnny go, go
I said, go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
I said, go, Johnny, go, go
Hey, hey, Johnny B. Goode
Yeah, yeah
Thank you very much
Thank you
I'd like to see Beethoven write a piece
Of rock 'n' roll music now, like this
