Way down in Louisiana close to New Orleans, way back in the woods among the evergreens
there stood a log cabin made or earth and wood
where lived a country boy name of 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 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 gunny sack, go sit beneath a tree by the railroad track
The engineers would see him sitting in the shade strumming to the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passing by they would stop and say, oh my, but that little country boy can play
Go go go Johnny go go, go Johnny go go, go Johnny go go, go Johnny go go, Johnny B Goode
Well, his momma told him, Some day you will be a man
You will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around just to hear you play your music till the sun goes down
Maybe someday your name'll be in lights, saying, 'Johnny B Goode tonight
Go go go Johnny go go, go Johnny go go, go Johnny go go, go Johnny go go, Johnny B Goode
Go go go Johnny go go, go Johnny go go, go Johnny go go, go Johnny go go, Johnny B Goode
