JOHNNY B. GOODE by Peter Tosh
(writer: Chuck Berry)
verse 1: Deep down In Jamaica close to Mandaville
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
Who'd never learned to read and write so well
But he could play his guitar like a ringin' a bell
chorus : I said go (go Johnny), Johnny B. Goode tonight yea-ah
I said go (go Johnny), Johnny B. Goode
verse 2 : He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Sitting 'neath the tree in a rail road track
Ol' engineer in the train, sittin' in the shade
Strummin' with the rhythm that that drivers made
People passing by would stop and say
Oh my, oh my, how that that boy can play
(chorus)
verse 3 : His mama said "Son you gonna be a man
You gotta 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 light
Sayin', Johnny, Johnny B. Goode tonight!" (chorus)
