Cliff Richard - Johnny B. Goode lyrics

[Cliff Richard - Johnny B. Goode lyrics]

Deep 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
Named Johnny B goode
Who never ever learned to read
Or write so well
But he'd play the guitar just
Like a ringing a bell

Go go, go Johnny go go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go go, go Johnny go
Go go, Johnny B goode

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
The engineerswould see him sitting
In the shade strumming with the rhythm that
The drivers made
People passing by they would stop and say
Oh my that little country boy could play

Go go, go Johnny go go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go go, go Johnny go
Go go, Johnny B goode
His mother told him "Someday you
Will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music
When the sun go down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying Johnny B goode tonight"

Go go, go Johnny go go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go go, go Johnny go
Go go, go go, Johnny B goode
