Johnny B Good |
| Deep down in Jamaica close to Mandeville |
| Back up in the woods on top of a hill |
| There stood an old hut made of earth and wood |
| Where lived a country boy named Johnny B Goode |
| He never learned to read and a write so well |
| But he could play his guitar like ringing a bell yell |
| CHORUS (we all know this) |
| He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack |
| Sitting in a tree in the railroad track |
| Old engineer in the train sitting in the shade |
| Strummin' with the rhythm that them drivers made |
| People passing by would stop and say |
| Oh my oh my what the boy can play |
| CHORUS |
| Mama said son you gotta be a man |
| You gotta be the leader of a reggae band |
| People coming in from miles around |
| To hear you play until the sun goes down |
| Boy someday your name will be in the lights |
| Saying Johnny B Goode tonight |
