Deep down in Lousiana close to New Orleans   Way back up in the woods among the evergreens   There stood an old 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 could play a guitar just like a 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 used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack   He sit beneath the tree by the railroad track   The engineer would see him sittin' in the shade   Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made   The people passin' by they would stop and say   Oh my how that little country boy can play   Go go go Johnny go go...   [ guitar - piano ]   His mother told him someday you gonna be a man   And you will be the leader of a big old band   Many people comen from miles around   To hear you play your music when the sun goes down   Maybe someday your name will be in lights sayin' Johnny B Goode tonight   Go go go Johnny go go...
