Deep Adown in Louisiana, close to New Orleans,
Way Aback up in the woods among the evergreens,
There Dstood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where Alived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who Enever ever learned to read or write so well,
But he could Aplay the guitar just like a ringin' a bell.
Go! AGo! Go, Johnny, go! Go!
Go, Johnny, Dgo! Go!
Go, Johnny, Ago! Go!
Go, Johnny, Ago! Go!
EJohnny B. Goode
He used to Acarry his guitar in a gunny sack,
Go sit beAneath the tree by the railroad track.
Old engiDneers would see him sittin' in the shade,
AStrummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made.
When Epeople passed him by they would stop and say,
'oh, my but that Alittle country boy could play'
Go! AGo! Go, Johnny, go! Go!
Go, Johnny, Dgo! Go!
Go, Johnny, Ago! Go!
Go, Johnny, Ago! Go!
EJohnny B. Goode
Go! AGo! Go, Johnny, go! Go!
Go, Johnny, Dgo! Go!
Go, Johnny, Ago! Go!
Go, Johnny, Ago! Go!
EJohnny B. Goode
His Amother told him, 'someday you will be a man,
AYou will be the leader of a big ol' band.
Many Dpeople comin' from miles around
Will Ahear you play your music when the sun go down.
Maybe Esomeday your name'll be in lights,
Sayin' A'Johnny B. Goode tonight''
Go! AGo! Go, Johnny, go! Go!
Go, Johnny, Dgo! Go!
Go, Johnny, Ago! Go!
Go, Johnny, Ago! Go!
