Udo Lindenberg - Johnny B. Goode songtext (lyrics)

Deep down in 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 name
Of Johnny B goode
Who never ever learned to read
Or write so well but he could play a guitar
Just like ringin' a bell

Go Go go Johnny Go
Go go Johnny Go
Go go Johnny Go
Go go Johnny Go
Go johnny B goode

He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Oh, the engineer would see him
Sitting in the shade
Strummin' with the rhythm that
The drivers made
People passing 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 Go
Go go Johnny 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 comin' from miles around
To hear you play your music
When the sun go down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Sayin' Johnny B goode tonight"

Go Go go Johnny Go
Go Go Go johnny Go
Oh Go go johnny Go
Oh Go Go johnny Go
Go johnny B goode
