Johnny B Goode Lyrics - Green Day

1 Way down Louisiana close to New Orleans,

2 Way back up in the woods among the evergreens...

3 There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood,

4 Where lived a country boy name of Johnny B. Goode...

5 He never ever learned to read or write so well,

6 But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell.

7 Go Go

8 Go Johnny Go

9 Go Go

10 Johny be good

11 He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack

12 And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track.

13 Oh, the engineers used to see him sitting in the shade,

14 Playing to the rhythm that the drivers made.

15 People passing by would stop and say

16 Oh my that little country boy could play

17 Go Go

18 Go Johnny Go

19 Go Go

20 Johny be good

21 His mama told him someday he would be a man,

22 And he would be the leader of a big old band.

23 Many people coming from miles around

24 To hear him play his music when the sun go down

25 Maybe someday his name would be in lights

26 Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight.
