Johnny B. Goode Lyrics - Buck Em!: The Music Of Buck Owens, 1967-1975: Vol. 2 - Buck Owens

Deep down in Lousiana close to New Orleans 

Back up in the woods among the evergreens 

There stood an old cabin made of earth and wood 

Where lived a country boy named Johnny B.Goode 

Who'd 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 go Johnny go go go Johnny be Goode 

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack 

Sit beside the tree by the railroad track 

The engineer would see him sittin' in the shade 

Listen to the rhythm that the drivers made 

The people comin' 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 be Goode 

[ guitar ] 

His mama told him someday you will be a man 

And you will be the leader of a big old band 

Many people come from miles around 

To hear you play your music till the sun goes down 

Maybe someday your name will be in lights a sayin' Johnny be Goode tonight 

Go go go go Johnny go go go Johnny go go go Johnny be Goode
