The Grateful Dead - Johnny B. Goode lyrics
[The Grateful Dead - Johnny B. Goode lyrics]
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back in the woods among the evergreens
There in an old cabin made of earth and wood
There lived a country boy
Named Johnny B goode
He never learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar
Like 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 up in the trees by the railroad track
The engineers seen him sitting in the shade
Strumming to the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by would stop and say "My my
But that little country boy can play!"
Go go, go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny B goode
His mamma told him "someday you
Will be a man"
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 goes down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Johnny B goode tonight
Go go, go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny B goode
Way back in the woods among the evergreens
There in an old cabin made of earth and wood
There lived a country boy
Named Johnny B goode
He never learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar
Like 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 up in the trees by the railroad track
The engineers seen him sitting in the shade
Strumming to the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by would stop and say "My my
But that little country boy can play!"
Go go, go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny B goode
His mamma told him "someday you
Will be a man"
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 goes down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Johnny B goode tonight
Go go, go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny B goode
