Johnny Be Good
Way 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 name of 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 Johnny Go Go Go Johnny B. Goode He use to
carry his guitar in a gunny sack And sit beneath the trees by the railroad
track.
Oh, the engineers used to see him sitting in the shade, Playing to the
rhythm that the drivers made. People passing by would stop and say Oh my
that little country boy could play
His mama told him someday he would be a man, And he would be the leader of a
big old band. Many people coming from miles around To hear him play his
music when the sun go down Maybe someday his name would be in lights Saying
Johnny B. Goode tonight. |
