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.

Well she drew out all her money from the Southern trust

And put her little boy aboard a greyhound bus

Leaving Louisianna for the golden west

Down came the tears from her happiness

Her own little son, named Johnny B. Goode

Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye

I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode

She remembered making money out from gathering crops

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 she'll be satisfied

Never thought there'd ever come a day like this

When she got to give her son a goodbye kiss

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye

I said 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 them by the railroad track

Every time they heard a locomotiv roar

They'd be standing, a waiting by the kitchen door

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye

I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye

I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye

I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye

I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye

I said Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye

I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode
