Chuck Berry in Johnny B. Good


Il modo migliore per incominciare la settimana



TESTO ORIGINALE
Way down Louisiana close to New Orleans, 
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens... 
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood, 
Where lived a country boy name of Johnny B. Goode... 
He never ever learned to read or write so well, 
But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell. 

(Chorus) 
Go Go 
Go Johnny Go 
Go Go 
Johnny B. Goode 

He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack 
And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track. 
Oh, the engineers used to see him sitting in the shade, 
Playing to the rhythm that the drivers made. 
People passing by would stop and say 
Oh my that little country boy could play 

(Chorus) 

His mama told him someday he would be a man, 
And he would be the leader of a big old band. 
Many people coming from miles around 
To hear him play his music when the sun go down 
Maybe someday his name would be in lights 
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight.
