Lyrics

Johnny B.
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
Stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where 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 ringing a bell
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, I said go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Johnny B. Goode, play it James
Hey, hey
His mama told him "One day you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you playing music when the sun goes down
Maybe one day your name will be in lights saying
Johnny B. Goode tonight"
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, I said go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Johnny B. Goode, hey
Thank you
