Johnny B. Goode Songtext
von Johnny Winter And

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
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar just like ringin′ a bell

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

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Sit beneath the trees by the railroad track
Oh, sit beneath the trees that are in the shade
Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by, they would stop and say
Oh my, but that little country boy can play


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

Oh, look at Johnny B. Goode, oh, oh
Oh, look at him

His mother told him, someday you would be a man
And you would be the leader of a rock and roll band
How many people coming from miles around
Hear him play the guitar when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name would be in lights
Sayin′, Johnny B. Goode tonight

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