Way 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 name of Johnny B. Goode He never ever learned to read or write so well He could play the guitar like ringing a bell Go Go Go Johnny Go Go Johnny Go Go Johnny Go Go Johnny Go Go Go Johnny B. Goode He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track Oh, the engineers used to see him sitting in the shade Playing to the rhythm that the drivers made People passing by would stop and say "My my, how that little country boy could play" Go Go Go Johnny Go Go Johnny Go Go Johnny Go Go Johnny Go Go Go Johnny B.
