Way down in louisiana down 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
He could play the guitar just like ringin a bell

Chorus
Go, go, go jonny go go
go johnny go go
go johnny go go
go johnny go go
go, johnny be good

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Or sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
The engineer would see him sitting in the shade
Strummin' to the rhythm that the driver made
People passing by they'd stop and say
Oh my that little country boy sure can play!

Chorus

His mama told him one day you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
People gonna come from miles around
To listen to you play 'till the sun goes down
One day maybe your name gonna be in lights
Sayin' "Jonny B. Goode tonight"

Chorus
