Grateful Dead - Johnny B. Goode Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Deep down in louisiana close to new orleans,
  • Way back in the woods among the evergreens
  • There in an old cabin made of earth and wood
  • There lived a country boy named johnny b. goode.
  • He never learned to read or write so well,
  • But he could play a guitar like ringin' a bell.
  • Go go, go johnny go, go; go johnny go, go;
  • Go johnny go, go; go johnny go, go; go johnny b. goode.
  • He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack,
  • Go sit up in the trees by the railroad track.
  • The engineers seen him sittin' in the shade
  • Strummin' to the rhythm that the drivers made.
  • People passin' by would stop and say
  • "my my, but that little country boy can play!"
  • His mamma told him "someday you will be a man."
  • You will be the leader of a big old band
  • Many people comin' from miles around
  • To hear you play your music when the sun goes down.
  • Maybe someday your name will be in lights.
