"Johnny Be Good" - Chuck Berry

Deep down to Louisiana close to New Orleans
way back upon the woods among the evergreens
there stood an old catin made of earth and wood
where lived a countryboy named Johnny B. Goode
who'd never ever learned to read or write so well
but he could play his guitar just like a ringing bell

Go go go Johnny go .......

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
old engineer in the train sitting in the shade
strumming with the rythm that the drivers made
the people passing by they would stop and say
on my but the little country boy could play

Go go go Johnny go .......

His mother him some day you will be man
and you'll be the leader of a big old band
many people coming from miles around
to hear you play your music till the sun goes down
maybe some day your name will be in lights
a saying Johnny B. Goode tonight

Go go go Johhny go .......
