[Verse 1]
Deep down in L
ouisiana close
to New Orlean
s
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a
log cabin made
of earth and
wood
Where lived a
country boy na
med Johnny B.
Goode
Who never ever
learned to re
ad or write so
well
But he could p
lay a guitar j
ust like he's
ringin' a bell

Johnny B. Good
e
[Verse 2]
He used to car
ry his guitar
in a gunny sac
k
And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track
The engineers
would see him
sittin' in the
shade
Strummin' to t
he rhythm that
the driver ma
de
The people pas
sing by they w
ould stop and
say
"Oh my, what t
hat little cou
ntry boy could
play"

Well his mothe
r told him som

be a man
and you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people co

Maybe someday
