Johnny B. Good

(words & music by chuck berry)

Deep down in louisiana close to new orleans

Way back up in the woods among the evergreens

Stood a log cabin made of earth and wood

Where lived a country boy named johnny b. good

Who never learned to read or write at all

But he could play the guitar just like ringing a bell



Go, go, go johnny go, go, go johnny, go go

Go johnny go, go, go johnny go go

Johnny b. good



His mama told him "someday you will be a man

And you will be the leader of a big band

Many people coming from miles around

To hear your playing music when the sun goes down

Maybe someday you will be in lights saying johnny b. good"
