Johnny B Goode
Judas Priest · Other Songs - Judas Priest
Way back up with the woods among the Evergreens
There Stood a cabin made of earth and wood
There lived a country boy named Johnny B Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well, but he could play a guitar just like ringing bell
Go go!! Go Johnny Go Go Go!!! Go Johnny Go!!
Go go!! Go Johnny Go Go Go!! Go Johnny Go!!
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Sitting in the trees by the railroadtrack
All engineers sitting in the shade
stumming with the rhytm that the drivers made
people passing by, they stopped and said, "Oh my, but how that country boy can play"
Go go!! Go Johnny Go Go Go!!! Go Johnny Go!!
Go go!! Go Johnny Go Go Go!! Go Johnny Go!!
Johhnny B Goode! Go Johnny!!!
His mother told him someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from a miles around
To hear you play your music till the sound goes down
Maybe someday you name will be in lights, saying Johnny B Goode Tnight
Go go!! Go Johnny Go Go Go!!! Go Johnny Go!!
Go go!! Go Johnny Go Go Go!! Go Johnny Go!!
Johnny B Goode!!
Go go!! Go Johnny Go Go Go!!! Go Johnny Go!!
Go go!! Go Johnny Go Go Go!! Go Johnny Go!!
Johnny B Goode
Go go!! Go Johnny Go Go Go!!! Go Johnny Go!!
Go go!! Go Johnny Go Go Go!! Go Johnny Go!!
Judas Priest - Johnny B Goode
Judas Priest's cover of 'Johnny B Goode' stands as a defining example of the band's ability to reinterpret classic rock and roll with their signature heavy metal sound. While Chuck Berry's original 1958 recording established the template for rock guitar work, Priest's version transforms the material into a high-energy anthem that showcases their technical proficiency and aggressive style. Released as a single, the track exemplifies the band's mid-to-late period output, blending the raw energy of their earlier work with the polished production characteristic of their discography. The song remains a staple of their live performances, demonstrating how the group successfully adapted iconic material to fit their unique sonic identity within the hard rock and metal genres.
