Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, she drew out all her money out from Southern Trust And put her little boy aboard a Greyhound bus Leavin' Louisiana for the golden West Down came her tears from her happiness Her own little son named Johnny B. Goode Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood [Chorus] Hollerin', "Bye, bye, bye, bye" Hollerin', "Bye, bye, bye, bye Bye-bye, Johnny Bye-bye, Johnny B. Goode" [Verse 2] Well, she 'member takin' money out from gathering crops And buyin' Johnny's guitar at a broker shop As long as he could play it by the railroad side And wouldn't get in trouble, she'd be satisfied Never thought there'd ever come a day like this When she would gladly give her son a goodbye kiss [Chorus] Hollerin', "Bye, bye, bye, bye" Hollerin', "Bye, bye, bye, bye Bye-bye, Johnny Bye-bye, Johnny B. Goode" (Yeah!) [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Well, she finally got the letter she was dreamin' of Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love As soon as he were married, he could bring her back And build a mansion for her by the railroad tracks And every time they heard the locomotive roar They'd be a-standin' and wavin' at the kitchen door [Chorus] Hollerin', "Bye, bye, bye, bye" Hollerin', "Bye, bye, bye, bye Bye-bye, Johnny Bye-bye, Johnny B. Goode"
