The Rondels - Johnny B. Goode Lyrics

Well deep 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
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell

Go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Johnny B. Goode

He used to carry his guitar in a gunner sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passing by they would stop and say
Well oh my what that little country boy could play

Go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Johnny B. Goode

Alright sing it baby

Well now his mother told him someday he would be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
Maybe one day there will be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight

Go go
Go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Yeah go
Johnny B. Goode
