Verse 2 (same Tune)
He used to carry his guitar
In a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree
By the railroad track
O'l engineer in the train
Sittin' in the shade
Strummin with the rythem
That the drivers made
The people passin' by
They would stop and say
Oh my, but that little
Country boy could play
Go GO... Etc (chorus)
Verse 3 (same tune)
His mother told him
"Someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader
Of a big old band
Many people comin'
From miles around
To hear you play your music
'Til the sun goes down
Maybe someday your name'll be in lights
A sayin' Johnny B Goode tonght"
Go GO... Etc (chorus) to fade
