Bye Bye Johnny
She drew out all her money from the Southern Trust
And put her little boy aboard a greyhound bus.
Leavin' Louisianne for the golden west,
Down came her tears from her happiness.
Her own little some named Johnney B Goode
Was going to make some motion pictures down in Hollywood.
Chorus
And sing bye bye, bye bye.
Bye bye, bye bye.
Bye bye Johnney, goodebye Johnny B Goode.
She remembered taking money in from gathering crops
And buying Johnny's guitar from the brokers shop.
As long as he was playing by the railroad side.
Wouldn't get in trouble, she'd be satisfied.
She never thought that there would come a day like this
When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss.
Chorus
She finally got the letter she was dreaming of
Cos Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love.
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
And build a mansion for her by the railroad side.
So everytime she heard the locomotive roar
She be standing,waiting at the kitchen door.
Chorus - repeat and fade.
Adeus, Johnny
Ela retirou todo o seu dinheiro do Southern Trust
E colocou seu garotinho em um ônibus da Greyhound.
Deixando a Louisiana rumo ao oeste dourado,
Lágrimas desciam de sua felicidade.
Seu próprio filhote chamado Johnny B Goode
Ia fazer alguns filmes lá em Hollywood.
Refrão
E canta adeus, adeus.
Adeus, adeus.
Adeus, Johnny, tchau Johnny B Goode.
Ela se lembrou de pegar dinheiro colhendo as safras
E de comprar a guitarra do Johnny na loja do corretor.
Enquanto ele tocasse ao lado da ferrovia.
Não se meteria em encrenca, ela ficaria satisfeita.
Nunca pensou que chegaria um dia assim
Quando teria que dar um beijo de despedida no filho.
Refrão
Ela finalmente recebeu a carta com que sonhava
Porque Johnny escreveu e disse que se apaixonou.
Assim que se casasse, ele a traria de volta
E construiria uma mansão para ela ao lado da ferrovia.
Então, toda vez que ouvisse o rugido da locomotiva
Ela estaria lá, esperando na porta da cozinha.
Refrão - repete e desvanece.
