J'étais avec une fille qui me plaisait bien
Mais j'ai du la quitter sans attendre demain
Malgré son amour elle ne me comprenait pas
Car elle était bien trop différente de moi
Elle n'a pas su comprendre
Pourquoi je l'ai quitté
Sitôt que je la vois
Elle ne sait que répéter
Go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Johnny B. Good
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny-sack.
And sit beneath the tree by the railroad-track.
Ol' engineers were sitting in the shade.
Strummin' to the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by they would stop and say
Oh my but that little country-boy can play
Go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go, Johnny B. Good
His mama told him some day he will be a man.
And he would be the leader of a big old band.
Many people comin' from miles around.
To hear him playing guitar 'till the sun goes down.
Maybe some day your name will be in the light
Saying Johnny B. Good tonight
Go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go, Johnny B. Good
