Jerry Lee Lewis - Johnny Be Good Lyrics

Send "Johnny Be Good" ringtones to your cell

deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans 
Way back in the woods among the evergreens 
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood 
Where lived a country boy named Johnny be good 
who never ever learned to read or write so well 
But he could play the guitar just like ringing a bell 

(Chorus) 
Go Go 
Go Johnny Go, Go 
Go Johnny Go, Go 
Go Johnny Go, Go 
Go Johnny Go, Go 
Johnny be good 

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack 
Sit beneath the tree by the railroad track 
Engineers used to see him sitting in the shade 
strumming to the rhythm that the drivers made 
People passing by they would stop and say 
Oh my, but that lttle country boy sure can play 

(Chorus) 

his Mama told him someday you would be a man 
You would be the leader of a big old band 
Many people will be coming from miles around 
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down 
Maybe someday your name will be in lights 
Saying Johnny be good tonight 

(Chorus)
