Elton John - Johnny B. Goode Lyrics
Written by chuck berryAvailable on the album victim of loveDeep down in louisiana close to new orleansWay back up in the woods among the evergreensThere stood an log cabin made of earth and woodWhere lived a country boy named johnny b. goodeWho never learned to read or write so wellBut he could play a guitar just like ringing a bellGo goGo johnny go go goGo johnny go go goGo johnny go go goGo johnny go go goGo go johnny b. goodeHe used to carry his guitar in a gunny sackSat beneath the tree by the railroad trackAn engineer could see him sitting in the shadeStrumming with the rhythm that the drivers madeThe people passing by, they would stop and sayOh my, how that little country boy could playHis mother told him, someday you will be a manYou will be the leader of a big old bandMany people coming from miles aroundTo hear you play your music when the sun goes downAnd maybe someday your name will be in lightsSaying johnny b. goode tonight
