Chordettes Johnny B Goode Lyrics

Johnny B Goode Lyrics

Deep 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,
But he could play the guitar just like a ringin' a
bell.

Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go!
Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go!
Go,
Johnny, go! Go!
Go, Johnny, go! Go! Go!
Johnny B. Goode

He used to
carry his guitar in a gunny sack,
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad
track.
Old engineers would see him sittin' in the shade,
Strummin' to the
rhythm that the drivers made.
When people passed him by they would stop and
say,
'Oh, my but that little country boy sure could
play'

(Chorus)

(Guitar solo)

His mother told him, 'oneday
you will be a man,
You will be the leader of a big ol' band.
Many people
comin' from miles around
To listen to you play your music when the sun go
down.
Oneday maybe your name'll be in lights,
Sayin' 'Johnny B. Goode
tonight''

(Chorus)
