Well, in the heat of day down in Mobile, Alabama I'm workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer. I gotta get some money buy some brand new shoes, Gotta find somebody take away my blues. Well she don't love me when I'm singin' in the sun, Payday's comin' when the work is all done.
Well now late here in the evening when the sun is sinkin' low, All day I've been waitin' for that whistle to blow, Sitting in a teepee built right on here on the tracks, Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back. Pick up your belongin' boys and scattere about, We've got an off shedule train comin' two miles out.
Everybody's scrambling and a runnin' around, Picking up their money tearin' the teepee down. Foreman wants to panic, bout to go insane, Trying to get the workers out the way of the train. Engineer blows the whistle loud and long, Can't stop the train, gotta let it roll on.
Let it roll. Let it rock, oh, woah.
Well now she drew out all of the money of the Southern Trust And put her little Johnny on a Greyhound Bus. Leavin' Louisiana for the golden west, Drowned in the tears from her happiness - Her own little son named Johnny B. Goode Gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood.
I said bye, bye, bye, bye. I said bye, bye, bye, bye. Bye, bye Johnny, goodbye Johnny B. Goode.
Well she remembers taking money after gathering crops And buying Johnny's guitar at the broker's shop. As long as he would play it by the railroad site, He wouldn't get in trouble, she was satisfied. Well she never knew there would come a day like this When she'd have to give Johnny a goodbye kiss.
I'm sayin' bye, bye, bye, bye. I'm sayin' bye, bye, bye, bye. Goodbye Johnny, bye, bye Johnny B. Goode.
Well now she finally got the letter she'd been dreamin' of When Johnny wrote and told her he had done fell in love. As soon as he was married he'd bring her back And build a mansion for her by the railroad track. And every time you heard that locomotive roar, She'd be standin' there waiting at the kitchen door.
I'm sayin' bye, bye, bye, bye. I'm sayin' bye, bye, bye, bye. Bye, bye Johnny, goodbye Johnny B. Goode.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
