Johnny B. Goode (Live at RFK Stadium, Washington, DC, 6/10/73)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans Back up in the woods among the evergreens There is an old cabin made of earth and wood There lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode He never learned to read or write so well But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell [Chorus] Go go, go Johnny go, go; go Johnny go, go Go Johnny go, go; go Johnny go, go Go Johnny B. Goode [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Mama told him "Someday you will be a man You will be the leader of a big old band Many people coming from miles around Will hear you play your music when the sun goes down Maybe someday your name will be in lights Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight" [Chorus] Ah, go, go Johnny go, go; go Johnny go, go Go Johnny go, go; go Johnny go, go Go Johnny B. Goode [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Had his guitar in a gunny sack Sitting in the trees by the railroad track The engineers seen him sitting in the shade Strumming to the rhythm that the drivers made The people passing by would stop and say "Whoa, my, my God, that little country boy can play!" [Chorus] Go go, go Johnny go, go; go Johnny go, go Go Johnny go, go; go Johnny go, go You go, Johnny B. Goode [Outro] Thanks a lot, everybody, we'll see y'all later
