C She drew out all her money at the Southern Trust And put her little boy upon a Greyhound bus F Leaving Louisiana for the golden west C Down came the tears from her happiness G Her own little son named Johnny B Goode C Was going to make some motion pictures out in Holliwood Chorus: C F C Bye bye bye bye, Bye bye bye bye G C Bye-bye Johnny, Goodbye Johnny B Goode She remembered taking money out from gathering crop And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop As long as he would play it by the railroad side And wouldn't get in trouble, he was satisfied But never thought that there would come a day like this When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss Chorus: Bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye Johnny Bye-bye Johnny B. Goode She finally got the letter she was dreaming of And Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love As soon as he was married, he would bring her back And build a mansion for her by the railroad track So every time they heard the locomotive roar They'd be a standing, a waving in the kitchen door Chorus: Howling bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye Johnny Good-bye Johnny B.
