Lyrics
Deep down in 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
Who never ever 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 (4x)
Johnny B. Goode
 
He used to carry his guitar
in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree
by the railroad track
Oh, the engineers would see him
sitting in the shade
Strumming with the
rhythm that the
drivers made
The people passing by they would stop
and say
"Oh my what that little country boy
could play"
 
Go go
Go Johnny go go (4x)
Johnny B. Goode
 
His mother 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
when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name
will be in lights
Saying "Johnny B. Goode tonight"
 
Go go
Go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go (3x)
Go
Johnny B. Goode
