Johnny B. Goode [live In Japan
Santana Lyrics

Deep down louisiana close to new orleans
Johnny B. Goode lived in a log cabin in Louisiana, close to New Orleans

Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
His cabin was located deep in the woods among the evergreens

There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
The cabin was built using natural materials, including earth and wood

Where lived a country boy name of johnny b. Goode
Johnny B. Goode was the young country boy who lived in the cabin

He never ever learned to read or write so well
Although he struggled to read and write, Johnny was a gifted guitar player

But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell
His guitar playing was so good that it sounded like a bell ringing

Go go
This is a call to action, urging Johnny to start playing

Go Johnny go
Everyone is excited to watch Johnny play his guitar

Go Johnny go Go go
The excitement is building up and people cannot wait for Johnny to start playing

Go Johnny go go go
There is a lot of enthusiasm and anticipation for Johnny's performance

Go Johnny go
The crowd is urging Johnny to continue playing

Go, Johnny b. Goode
The audience is chanting Johnny's name, impressed by his guitar playing skills

He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Johnny carried his guitar in a simple gunny sack

And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track
He would sit under the shade of a tree by the train track and play his guitar

Oh, the engineers used to see him sitting in the shade
The train engineers who passed by often saw Johnny playing his guitar in the shade

Playing to the rhythm that the drivers made
Johnny would create beautiful music that matched the rhythm of the passing trains

People passing by would stop and say
Passersby would stop to listen to Johnny's beautiful music

Oh my that little country boy could play
Everyone was amazed by Johnny's guitar playing skills

His mama told him someday he would be a man
Johnny's mother encouraged him and knew that he would become a successful musician

And he would be the leader of a big old band
She believed that Johnny would eventually lead a successful music band

Many people coming from miles around
People came from far and wide to hear Johnny play his music

To hear him play his music when the sun go down
Johnny's music was best enjoyed in the evenings, as the sun went down

Maybe someday his name would be in lights
Johnny's mother hoped that he would become famous and his name would appear on billboards

Saying johnny b. Goode tonight
People would come to concerts and events just to watch Johnny perform

Go. go, go, go Johnny b. Goode
The crowd is excited and urging Johnny to continue playing his guitar
