DEEP DOWN IN LOUISIANA CLOSE TO NEW ORLEANS 
WAY BACK IN THE WOODS AMONG THE EVERGREENS 
THERE STOOD AN OLD CABIN MADE OF EARTH AND WOOD 
WHERE LIVED A COUNTRY BOY NAMED JOHNNY B. GOODE 
WHO NEVER EVER LEARNED TO READ OR WRITE SO WELL 
BUT HE COULD PLAY A GUITAR JUST LIKE A RINGING BELL 
Refrain: 
GO! GO! 
GO! JOHNNY! GO! GO! GO! JOHNNY! GO! GO! 
GO! JOHNNY! GO! GO! GO! JOHNNY! GO! GO! 
JOHNNY B. GOODE 
~2~ 
HE USED TO CARRY HIS GUITAR IN A GUNNY SACK 
GO SIT BENEATH THE TREE BY THE RAILROAD TRACK 
OLD ENGINEER IN THE TRAIN SITTIN’ IN THE SHADE 
STRUMMIN’ WITH THE RHYTHM THAT THE DRIVERS MADE 
THE PEOPLE PASSIN’ BY THEY WOULD STOP AND SAY 
OH, MY, BUT THAT LITTLE COUNTRY BOY COULD PLAY 
Refrain: 
GO! GO! 
GO! JOHNNY! GO! GO! GO! JOHNNY! GO! GO! 
GO! JOHNNY! GO! GO! GO! JOHNNY! GO! GO!

Instrumental - (2x)

HIS MOTHER TOLD HIM - “SOMEDAY YOU WILL BE A MAN” 
AND YOU WILL BE THE LEADER OF A BIG OLD BAND 
MANY PEOPLE COMIN’ FROM MILES AROUND 
TO HEAR YOU PLAY YOUR MUSIC TILL THE SUN GOES DOWN 
MAYBE SOMEDAY YOUR NAME’LL BE IN LIGHTS 
A-SAYIN’ - “JOHNNY B. GOODE TONIGHT” 
Refrain: 
GO! GO! 
GO! JOHNNY! GO! GO! GO! JOHNNY! GO! GO! 
GO! JOHNNY! GO! GO! GO! JOHNNY! GO! GO!
