Way down to Lousiana down to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood an old 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 a guitar just like he's 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
He sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
The engineer would see him sittin' in the shade
Strummin' to the rhythm that the driver made
The people passin' by they would stop and say
Oh my that little country boy sure can play
Go go go Johnny go go...
[ guitar - piano ]
Go go go Johnny go go...
Well his mother told him one day you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
People goin' and comen from miles around
To listen to your play til' the sun goes down
One day maybe your name gonna be in lights sayin' Johnny B Goode tonight
Go go go Johnny go go...
