Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
He never, ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar just like a ringing bell, go, go
[Verse 2]
Go, Johnny, go, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go
Johnny B. Goode
[Verse 3]
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Sit beneath the tress by the railroad track
Oh, sit beneath the trees, sitting under shade
Strummin' to the rhythm that the drivers made
People passin' by, oh they would stop and say
Oh my, that little country boy can play, go, go
[Verse 4]
Go, Johnny, go, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Oh, Johnny B. Goode
[Verse 5]
Oh, talkin' 'bout Johnny Goode
Oh, I got you
[Verse 6]
His mother told him someday he would be a man
And you would be the leader of a rock and roll band
Oh, many people comin' from miles around
Hear him play his guitar when the sun goes down
Maybe someday his name would be in lights
Sayin' Johnny B. Goode tonight, go, go
[Verse 7]
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go
Go, go, Johnny B. Goode
