[Verse 1]
Way Bbdown Louisiana close to New Orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens.
There Ebstood a log cabin made of earth and wood,
Where Bblived a country boy named Johnny B Good.
He Fnever ever learned to read and write so well,
But he could Bbplay the guitar just like the ringin' a bell.
[Chorus]
Go, gBbo.
Go, Johnny go, go.
Go, Johnny go, gEbo.
Go, Johnny go, gBbo.
Go, Johnny go, gFo.
Johnny B GoBbod.
[Verse 2]
He used to Bbcarry his guitar in a gunny sack
And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track.
Oh, enEbgineers would see him sitting in the shade
BbStrumming to the rhythm that the drivers made.
FPeople passing by they would stop and say:
"Oh, mBby how that little country boy could play."
[Chorus]
Go, gBbo.
Go, Johnny go, go.
Go, Johnny go, gEbo.
Go, Johnny go, gBbo.
Go, Johnny go, gFo.

To Bbhear you play your music when the sun go down.
MaFybe someday your name will be in lights
Sayin' BbJohnny B Good tonight."
