Johnny B. Goode

Johnny Be Good - Colin Hicks/Jimmy Nicol and His Cabin Boys

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 be good

He never ever learned to read or write so well

But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell

Let's go

Go johnny go

Let's go

Go johnny go

Let's go

Go johnny go

Let's go

Go johnny go

Let's go

Johny be good

He carry his guitar in a gunny sack

And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track

The engineers use to train him sitting in the shade

Driving to the rhythm that the drivers made

People passing by they would stop and say man

Oh that little country boy could play

I say let's go

Go johnny go

Let's go

Go johnny go

Let's go

Go go johnny what's go

Go go go johnny go let's go

Johny be good

Mother told him someday he would be a man

And he would be the leader of a big old band

Many people coming from miles around

To hear him play his music when the sun go down

Maybe someday his name would be in lights

Saying johnny be good tonight

Yeah yeah yeah yeah to go

Go johnny go

Let's go

Go johnny go

Let's go

Go johnny go

Let's go

Go johnny go

Let's go

Johny be good
