The Rolling Stones - Bye Bye Johnny lyrics

rate me

(Berry)

Well she drew out all her money out from southern trust

And put a little boy aboard a greyhound bus

Leaving Lousiana for the golden west

Down came her tears from her happiness

Her own little son named Johnny B Goode

Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood

Bye bye bye bye

Bye bye bye bye

Bye bye Johnny bye bye Johnny B Goode

Well she remember taking money out from gathering crops

And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop

As long as he could play it by the railroad side

And wouldn't get in trouble she'd be satisfied

Never thought there'd ever come a day like this

When she would gladly give her son a goodbye kiss

Bye bye bye bye

Bye bye bye bye

Bye bye Johnny bye bye Johnny B Goode

Well she finally got the letter she was dreaming of

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 tracks

And everytime they heard the locomotive roar

They'd be a standing, waving in the kitchen door

Howling bye bye bye bye

Now bye bye bye bye

Bye bye Johnny bye bye Johnny B Goode
