Way down to Louisiana down 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 name of Johnny B. Goode... He never ever learned to read or write so well, He could play the guitar just like as ringing a bell.
Go, go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go Johnny! Go, go, go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go Johnny! Go, go, go! Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track. Engineer can see him sitting in the shade, Strumming to the rhythm that the driver made. The people passing by, they would stop and say Oh my, that little country boy sure can play
Go, go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go Johnny! Go, go, go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go Johnny! Go, go, go! Johnny B. Goode
Go, go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go Johnny! Go, go, go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode
When his mama told him, one day you will be a man And you will be the leader of a big old band People gonna come from miles around To listen to your play till the sun goes down And one day maybe your name gonna be in lights Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight
Go, go, go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go Johnny! Go, go, go! Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go Johnny! Go, go, go! Johnny B. Goode
