|
well she drew out all her money out from southern trust
|
and put a little boy aboard a greyhound bus
|
leaving lousiana for the golden west
|
down came her tears from her happiness
|
her own little son named johnny be goode
|
was gonna make some motion pictures out in hollywood
|
|
bye bye bye bye
|
bye bye bye bye
|
bye bye johnny bye bye johnny b goode
|
|
well she remember taking money out from gathering crops
|
and buying johnny's guitar at a broker shop
|
as long as he could 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 would gladly give her son a goodbye kiss
|
|
bye bye bye bye
|
bye bye bye bye
|
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 her by the railroad tracks
|
and everytime they heard the locomotive roar
|
they'd be a standing, waving in the kitchen door
|
|
howling bye bye bye bye
|
now bye bye bye bye
|
bye bye johnny bye bye johnny b goode
|
