Lyrics Johnny B Godde Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans Way back up in the woods among the evergreens There stands a country cabin made of tar and wood Where lives a country boy named Johnny B Goode He never learned to read or write a book so well He could play his guitar just like a-ringing a bell Go, go Go Johnny, go, go, go Go Johnny, go, go, go Go Johnny, go, go, go Go Johnny, go, go, go Ah, Johnny B Goode He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack Sit beneath the trees by the railroad track Oh, sitting and a-playing in the shade Strumming to the rhythm that the drivers made People passing by used to stop and say My, but how that country boy can play Go, go Go Johnny, go, go, go Go Johnny, go, go, go Go Johnny, go, go, go Go Johnny, go, go, go Ah, Johnny B Goode Well, his mama told him someday you will 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 till the sun goes down Maybe someday your name 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, go, go Ah, Johnny B Goode
