[C] Oh, I see Johnny Lucey and I walk to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods amongst the evergreen
[F] I saw the long pavement of earth and wood
[C] Well, if the country boy named Johnny be good
[G] He'll never ever learn to read or write so well
[C] But he can play a guitar just like a ringing of bells
Oh, Johnny go, go
Oh, Johnny [F] go, go
Oh, Johnny [C] go, go
Oh, Johnny [G] go, go
Oh, [C] Johnny be good
He'll be carrying a guitar and a gun in his back
Or tipping it to the street by the railroad track
[F] Or landing there with him betting in the [C] shade
Drumming with the rhythm that the crowd will make
[G] People passing by, they were stopping to say
[C] Oh, mama, that's the better country boy to play Go, go

[C] know his mother told his son that he would be a man
He would be the leader of a big old band
[F] Many people coming from miles [C] around

Maybe someday your name will be in [C] rights
And Johnny be good tonight Go, go
