Bye, Bye Johnny 

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 'o Johnny B. Goode 
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood 

Bye, bye, bye, bye 
Bye, bye, bye, bye 
Bye bye Johnny 
Good bye Johnny B. Goode 

She remembered taking money out from gathering 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 goodby kiss 

Going 
Bye, bye, bye, bye 
Bye, bye, bye, bye 
Bye bye Johnny 
Good bye Johnny B. Goode 

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 'em by the railroad track 
So every time they heard the locomotive roar 
They'd be a' standin', a' wavin' by the kitchen door 

Howling 
Bye, bye, bye, bye 
Bye, bye, bye, bye 
Bye bye Johnny 
Good bye Johnny B. Goode
