Buck Owens

Buck Owens - Johnny B. Goode lyrics

rate me

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 B 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 B 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 B Goode tonight

Go go go go Johnny go go go Johnny go go go Johnny B Goode
