	She drew out all her money at the Southern Trust

Her	own little son named Johnny B. Goode -

And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker's shop.

As	long as he would play it by the railroad side -

	C
He	wouldn't get in trouble, he was satisfied.

	G
But	never thought there'd ever come a day like this -

	C
When she would	have to give her son a goodbye kiss.

	C
	She finally got the letter she'd been dreaming of

Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love.

	F
As	soon as he was married he would bring her back -

	C
And	build a mansion for them by the railroad track.

	G
So	every time they heard the locomotive roar

	C
They'd be	standing and waving in the kitchen door.
