Johnny B. Goode (Live 1974)

Johnny B. Goode (Live 1974) - Carpenters

Lyrics by：Charles Berry

Composed by：Charles Berry

Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans

Way back up on the woods among the evergreens

There stood an log cabin made of earth and wood

Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode

Who'd never ever learned to read or write so well

But he could play a guitar just like a ringing 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 gunnysack

Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track

Old engineers in the train would see him sitting in the shade

Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made

The people passed him by they would stop and say

Oh my but that little country boy could play

Go go go Johnny

Go go go Johnny

Go go go Johnny

Go go go Johnny

Go go Johnny B. Goode

His mother told him some day you will be a man

And he will be the leader of a big old band

Many people coming from miles around

To hear him play your music when the sun goes down

Maybe some day your name will be in lights

Saying "Johnny B. Goode tonight"

Go go go go go Johnny

Go go go Johnny

Go go go Johnny

Go go go Johnny

Go go Johnny B. Goode
