Lyrics:

Way down in Lousiana close to New Orleans
Way back 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 learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar just like a ringin' a bell

Go go.. go Johnny go go.. go Johnny go go..
Go Johnny go go.. go Johnny go go go... Johnny B Goode

Used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
He'd sit beneath the tree among the railroad tracks
Engineers would see him sittin' in the shade
Strummin' through the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passin' by they would stop and say
Oh my that country boy sure can play

Go go.. go Johnny go go.. go Johnny go go..
Go Johnny go go.. go Johnny go go go... whooo, Johnny B Goode
[ guitar - piano ]

His mama told him someday you will be a man
You will be the leader of a big ole' band
People will be coming from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights sayin' Johnny B Goode is playin' tonight

Go go.. go Johnny go go.. go Johnny go go..
Go Johnny go go.. go Johnny go go go... whooo, Johnny B Goode
