1
Way down Louisiana close to New Orleans,
2
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
3
Livin' in a cottage made of earth and wood,
4
Lived a country boy name of Johnny B. Goode
5
He never ever learned to read or write so well,
6
But he could play the guitar just like ringing a bell.
7
Go, go
8
Go, Johnny go, go
9
Go, Johnny go, go
10
Go, Johnny go, go
11
Go, Johnny go, go
12
Johnny B. Goode
13
He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
14
And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track.
15
Oh, strummin' his guitar in the gentle shade,
16
Playing to the music that the drivers made.
17
People passing by they'd stop and say
18
Oh my that little country boy could play
19
Go, go
20
Go, Johnny go, go
21
Go, Johnny go, go
22
Go, Johnny go, go
23
Go, Johnny go, go
24
Johnny B. Goode
25
His mama told him "someday you will be a man,
26
"And you will be the leader of a big old band.
27
"All kinds a people coming from miles around
28
"To hear ya play ya guitar 'till the sun go down
29
"Maybe someday your name will be in lights
30
"Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight."
31
Go, go
32
Go, Johnny go, go
33
Go, Johnny go, go
34
Go, Johnny go, go
35
Go, Johnny go, go
