Johnny B. Goode Songtext
von Cat

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 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
Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Oh, the engineer would see him sittin' in the shade
Strummin′ with the rhythm that the drivers made
People passin' by, they would stop and say
Oh my, but that little country boy could play Go go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Johnny B. Goode
His papa told him, "Someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
People will come from miles around
To listen to the music that you're playin′ now
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
So Johnny B. Goode tonight"
Go go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Johnny B. Goode
