Johnny Be Good - Jerry Lee Lewis

deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans

Way back in the woods among the evergreens

There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood

Where lived a country boy named Johnny be good

who never ever learned to read or write so well

But he could play the guitar just like ringing a bell

(Chorus)

Go Go

Go Johnny Go, Go

Go Johnny Go, Go

Go Johnny Go, Go

Go Johnny Go, Go

Johnny be good

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack

Sit beneath the tree by the railroad track

Engineers used to see him sitting in the shade

strumming to the rhythm that the drivers made

People passing by they would stop and say

Oh my, but that lttle country boy sure can play

(Chorus)

his Mama told him someday you would be a man

You would be the leader of a big old band

Many people will be coming from miles around

To hear you play your music when the sun goes down

Maybe someday your name will be in lights

Saying Johnny be good tonight

(Chorus)
