Lyrics

[Verse 1] She drew out all her money at the Southern Trust And put her little boy aboard a Greyhound bus Leaving Louisiana for the Golden West Down came the tears from her happiness Her own little son named Johnny B. Goode Was going to make some motion pictures out in Hollywood [Chorus] Bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye, Johnny Goodbye Johnny B. Goode [Verse 2] She remembered taking money out from gathering crop And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop As long as he would play it by the railroad side And wouldn't get in trouble, he was satisfied But never thought that there would come a day like this When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss [Chorus] Bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye, Johnny Bye-bye, Johnny B. Goode [Verse 3] She finally got the letter she was dreaming of And 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 track So every time they heard the locomotive roar They'd be a standing, a-waving in the kitchen door [Chorus] Howling "Bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye, Johnny Good-bye, Johnny B. Goode,"
