Bye Bye Johnnie Songtext / Lyric

Well, she drew out all her money out from southern trust

And put a little boy aboard a Greyhound bus

Leaving Louisiana 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

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

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 every time they heard the locomotive roar

They'd be a standing, waving

In the kitchen door



Howling, bye, bye, bye, bye

Howling, bye, bye, bye, bye

Bye bye Johnny

Bye bye Johnny B Goode
