deep down 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
he never ever learned to read or write so well
but he could play the guitar like ringing a bell.
go go (go go go go) go johnny
go go go (go go go go) go johnny go
go go (go go go go) go johnny go
go go (go go go go) go johnny go
go go (go go go go)go
johnny b. goode bom bom bom bom bom bom
he use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
sit beneath the trees by the railroad track.
lazing in the sun, sitting in the shade,
strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
people passing by would stop and say
oh my that little country boy can play
go go (go go go go) go johnny
go go go (go go go go) go johnny go
go go (go go go go) go johnny go
go go (go go go go) go johnny go
go go (go go go go)
johnny b. goode bom bom bom bom bom bom
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 him play his music till the sun go down
maybe someday his name would be in lights
saying johnny b. goode tonight
go go (go go go go) go johnny
go go go (go go go go) go johnny go
go go (go go go go) go johnny go
go go (go go go go) go johnny go
go go (go go go go)
johnny b. goode bom bom bom bom bom bom
