Lyrics
Bye Bye Johnny
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She drew out all her money out of 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 Johnny B Goode
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Bye bye Johnny goodbye Johnny B Goode
She remembered taking money out from gatherin' crop
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble he was satisfied
But never thought that there would come a day like this
When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss
Sayin' bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye...
[ mandolin ]
She finally got the letter she was dreamin' 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
So every time they heard the locomotive roar
They'd be a standin' a wavin' by the kitchen door
Sayin' bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye...
