John Denver Lyrics for Song: Johnny B. Goode
 Lyrics for Album: John Denver [1979]
 
 
 
 14688>Way down in Lou'siana close to New Orleans,
 
 Way back in the woods among the evergreens
 
 there stood a log cabin made or earth and wood.
 
 Where lived a country boy name of Johnny B. Goode.
 
 He never ever learned to read or write so well,
 
 but he could play a guitar just like a ringin' 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,
 
 go sit beneath a tree by the railroad track.
 
 The engineers would see him sittin' in the shade
 
 strummin' to the rhythm that the drivers made.
 
 people passing by they would stop and say
 
 oh my but that little country boy can play.
 
 
 
 Go go
 
 go Johnny go
 
 go Johnny go go go
 
 Go Johnny go go go
 
 Go Johnny go go go
 
 Johnny B. Goode.
 
 
 
 Well, his momma told him, "Some day you will be a man.
 
 You will be the leader of a big old band,
 
 many people comin' from miles around
 
 just to hear you play your music till the sun goes down.
 
 Maybe someday your name 'll be in lights,
 
 sayin', 'Johnny B. Goode tonight!!'"
 
 
 
 Go go go go
 
 go Johnny go
 
 go
 
 go Johnny go go go
 
 go Johnny go go
 
 go Johnny go go go
 
 Johnny B. Goode.
 
 
 
 Go go
 
 go Johnny go go go
 
 go Johnny go go go
 
 go Johnny go go go
 
 go Johnny go go go
 
 Johnny B. Goode.
