Well she drew out all her money out from southern trust And put a little boy aboard a greyhound bus Leaving lousiana for the golden west Down came her tears from her happiness Her own little son named johnny b goode Was gonna make some motion pictures out in hollywood
Bye bye bye bye Bye bye bye bye Bye bye johnny bye bye johnny b goode
Well she remember taking money out from gathering crops And buying johnny's guitar at a broker shop As long as he could play it by the railroad side And wouldn't get in trouble she'd be satisfied Never thought there'd ever come a day like this When she would gladly give her son a goodbye kiss
Bye bye bye bye Bye bye bye bye Bye bye johnny bye bye johnny b goode
Well she finally got the letter she was dreaming of 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 tracks And everytime they heard the locomotive roar They'd be a standing, waving in the kitchen door
Howling bye bye bye bye Now bye bye bye bye Bye bye johnny bye bye johnny b goode
