Deep down in Jamaica, close to Mandeville
Back up in the woods, on top of a hill
There stood an old hut made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
He never learned to read or write so well
But he could play his guitar like ringin' a bell yell

Said go, go Johnny!
Johnny be good tonight!
Said go, go Johnny!
Johnny B. Goode

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Sit beneath a tree in the railroad track
Old engineer in the train sittin' in the shade
Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by would stop and say
"Oh my, oh my, what the boy can play"

Said go, go Johnny!
Johnny be good tonight!
Said go, go Johnny!
Johnny B. Goode

Mama said, "Son, you gotta be a man
You got to be the leader of a reggae band
People comin' in from miles around
To hear you play until the sun goes down
Boy, someday your name will be in the lights
Sayin' Johnny, Johnny B. Goode tonight"

I said go, go Johnny!
Johnny be good tonight!
Said oh, go Johnny!
Johnny you better be good

Come on, go, go Johnny!
Johnny be good tonight!
I said go, go Johnny!
You better be good

I said go, go Johnny!
Johnny be good tonight!
Said oh, go Johnny!
You better be good

I said go, go Johnny!
Johnny be good tonight!
Said oh, go Johnny!
You better be good

Come on, Johnny play your guitar
Oh, Johnny be good tonight!
