The Grateful Dead
Johnny B. Goode (Live at Winterland, San Francisco, December 29, 1977)
[Verse 1]
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There in an old cabin made of earth and wood
There lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
He never learned to read or write so well
But he could play his guitar like ringin' a bell

[Chorus]
Go go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go (Go, go, go)
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go, go, come on
Johnny B. Goode

[Verse 2]
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit up in the trees by the railroad track
The engineers seen him sittin' in the shade
Strummin' to the rhythm that the drivers made
Peoplе passin' by would stop and say
"Oh my, that little country boy can play!"

[Chorus]
Go go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go (Go, go, go)
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go, go on now
Johnny B. Goode
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
His mama told him "Someday you will bе a man
You will be the leader of a big old band
Many people comin' from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight"

[Chorus]
Ah, go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go (Go)
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go (Do it, do it, come on)
Johnny B. Goode

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Go, go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Johnny B. Goode
[Outro]
Thank you all and good night
