Mud - Bye Bye Johnny lyrics

rate me

She drew out all her money from the Southern Trust

And put her little boy aboard a greyhound bus.

Leavin’ Louisianne for the golden west,

Down came her tears from her happiness.

Her own little some named Johnney B Goode

Was going to make some motion pictures down in Hollywood.

Chorus

And sing bye bye, bye bye.

Bye bye, bye bye.

Bye bye Johnney, goodebye Johnny B Goode.

She remembered taking money in from gathering crops

And buying Johnny’s guitar from the brokers shop.

As long as he was playing by the railroad side.

Wouldn’t get in trouble, she’d be satisfied.

She never thought that there would come a day like this

When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss.

Chorus

She finally got the letter she was dreaming of

Cos 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 side.

So everytime she heard the locomotive roar

She be standing,waiting at the kitchen door.

Chorus – repeat and fade.
