(Berry)
|
Well she drew out all her money from the Southern trust
|
And put her little boy aboard a greyhound bus
|
Leaving Louisiana for the golden west
|
Down came the tears from her happiness
|
Her own little son, named Johnny B. Goode
|
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood
|
|
I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
|
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode
|
|
She remembered taking money out from gathering crops
|
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
|
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
|
And wouldn't get in trouble she'd be satisfied
|
Never thought there'd ever come a day like this
|
When she had to give her son a goodbye kiss
|
|
I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
|
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode
|
|
Well she finally got the letter she was dreaming of
|
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
|
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
|
And build a mansion for them by the railroad track
|
Every time she heard a locomotive roar
|
She'd be standing and a-waiting by the kitchen door
|
|
I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
|
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode
|
|
I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
|
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode
|
I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
|
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode
|
