Lyrics

Deep down in Jamaica, close to Mandeville Back up in the woods, on top of a hill There stood an old hut made of earth and wood There lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode Who never learned to read and write so well But he could play his guitar like ringing a bell, yeah He said go, go Johnny Johnny B. Goode tonight, yeah He said go, go Johnny Johnny B. Goode He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack Sitting in a tree by the railroad track Old engineer in the train sitting in the shade Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made People passing by would stop and say "Oh my, oh my, what a boy can play" I said oh, go Johnny Johnny B. Goode tonight, yeah Said oh, go Johnny Johnny B. Goode Mama said, "Son, you gotta be a man Gotta be the leader of a reggae band People coming in from miles around To hear you play until the sun goes down For some day your name will be in the lights Saying Johnny, Johnny B. Goode tonight" I said go, go Johnny Johnny B. Goode tonight, yeah Said oh, go Johnny Johnny, you better be good I said go, go Johnny Johnny B. Goode tonight Go Johnny, Johnny B. Goode I said go, go, go, go Johnny B. Goode tonight You can hear him play, Johnny You better be good
