| Lyrics: | (Berry)
Well she drew out all her money from the Southern trust
And put her little boy
aboard a greyhound bus
Leaving Louisiana for the golden west
Down came the tears from her
happiness
Her own little son, named Johnny B. Goode
Was gonna make some motion pictures out
in Hollywood
I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye
Johnny B. Goode
She remembered taking money out from gathering crops
And buying
Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
And
wouldn't get in trouble she'd be satisfied
Never thought there'd ever come a day like
this
When she had to give her son a goodbye kiss
I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode
Well she finally got the letter
she was dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
As soon as he was married
he would bring her back
And build a mansion for them by the railroad track
Every time she
heard a locomotive roar
She'd be standing and a-waiting by the kitchen door
I said
bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode
I
said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode
I
said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode |
