Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans

Way back up in the woods among the evergreens

Stood a log cabin made of earth and wood

Where lived a country boy named Johnny B Good

Who never learned to read or write at all

But he could play the guitar just like ringing a bell

Go go go Johnny go go go Johnny go go

Go Johnny go go go Johnny go go

Johnny B Good

His mama told him "someday you will be a man

And you will be the leader of a big band

Many people coming from miles around

To hear your playing music when the sun goes down

Maybe someday you will be in lights saying Johnny B Good

Go go go Johnny go go go Johnny go go

Go Johnny go go go Johnny go go

Johnny B Good

His mama told him "someday you will be a man

And you will be the leader of a big band

Many people coming from miles around

To hear your playing music when the sun goes down

Maybe someday you will be in lights saying Johnny B Good

Go go go Johnny go go go Johnny go go

Go Johnny go go go Johnny go go

Johnny B Good
