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 B 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
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 B 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
