Johnny B. Goode/Carol

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Johnny B. Goode] Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans Way back up in the woods among the evergreens Stood a log cabin made of earth and wood Lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode Never ever learned to read or write so well But he could play a guitar and he could sure give it hell [Chorus] Go, go Johnny go, go Go Johnny go, go Go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go, go Johnny go Go, good Lord, Johnny B. Goode [Instrumental Break] Play your guitar, Killer [Verse 2] His mama told him someday you will be a man The big ol' leader of a stud-hoss band Many people gonna come to see you from miles around Dig you playin' your mother-humpin' music when the sun's goin' down Maybe someday, son, you gonna be in lights Whoo! Give it to me, let's a-hang it in tonight [Chorus] Go! Go-go-go-go-go-go, Johnny, go go Go! Good Lord, Johnny B. Goode [Instrumental Break] Kenneth Lovelace, break it now! [Chorus: Carol] Whoa, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away We gotta learn to dance if it takes all night and day [Verse 1] Climb into my Rolls-Royce so we can move on out I know a mother-humpin' joint, we can sing and shout It ain't so far away honey, up in the edge of the woods If it gets too hot inside, we'll make it real good A little humble woman takes your hat and gives you somethin' else But she damn sure won't leave you hangin' up on a shelf [Chorus] Ohh, Carol, don't go lettin' him steal your heart away We gotta get it, get it, give it to me, gotta have it, if it takes all night and day [Instrumental Break] Whoa, yeah Whoa, whoo [Bridge] Carol Carol Carol Carol Carol Carol Carol Car-ol Carol Carol Carol Carol Carol, don't let him steal your heart away Play your harp, son [Chorus] Oh, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away I got to, got to learn to dance if it takes me all night and day Whoa, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away I gotta learn to dance if it takes all night and day [Interlude] I can play my piano, I can do it real good Jerry Lee Lewis ain't no fool, I can If I can't get it you can forget it 'cause it can't be got, and I thank God I can still hang it in Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you enjoyed, this is the Grand Ole Opry In Memphis, Tennessee at Sun Records Hot a' mighty Seventeen years ago, Sam Philips cut a record on me called "Crazy Arms" And I'll be damned if time ain't waitin' on nobody I look in yonder, and There's his son, Knox Phillips Hangin' it in like Gunga Din [Chorus] Oh, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away I gotta learn to dance if it takes me all night and day [Yodeling] [Outro] Cool it!
