Bye Bye Johnny

Well she took out all her money from the Southern Trust
And put her little boy aboard a Greyhound bus
Leaving Louisiana for the golden West
Down came the tears from her happiness
Her own little son, name of Johnny B. Goode
Was going to make a motion picture out in Hollywood

Singing bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye Johnny
Goodbye Johnny B. Goode

Well she collected all her money when she'd picked her crop
And bought Johnny's guitar from a broker's shop
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble, she'd be satisfied
She never thought there'd ever come a day like this
When she would have to give her Johnny a goodbye kiss

Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye Johnny
Goodbye Johnny B. Goode

Well the letter finally came that she'd been 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 them by the railroad track
And every time she heard the locomotive roar
Well she'd be standing and a-waiting by that kitchen door

Singing bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye Johnny
Goodbye Johnny B. Goode

Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye Johnny
Goodbye Johnny B. Goode

Bye, bye, bye, bye
We got to go
Bye, bye, bye, bye
We love you so
Bye bye Johnny
Goodbye Johnny B. Goode
