Deep down in Louisiana close the New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B Good
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar just like ringin a bell
Go, go, go johnny go go
go johnny go go
go johnny go go
go johnny go go
johnny be good
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Or sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Oh an engineer could see him sitting in the shade
Strummin’ to the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by they’d stop and say
Oh my but that little country boy can play
( Estribillo)
His mother told him some day you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
And hear you play your music till the sun goes down
Maybe someday your name gonna be in light
Sayin’ Johnny be good tonight
( Estribillo)
Considerado por muchos the father of rock & roll, Berry is for me mostly to the author of one of the coolest songs of all time, versioned by countless artists in the most diverse languages \u200b\u200band styles, highlighting among other versions of The Beatles and Mr. Elvis Presley.
For my taste the song has it all: a letter well Curran, who tells the story of young Johnny, a local semi-literate in Louisiana who could play his guitar as he rings a bell, and his guitar: everything aims to become a music star. Some guitars sound incredible and compact make it seem impossible that recorded in 1955!. The bass, drums ... a song, in short, 100% quality, an incredible force. Every time I hear it I see more shades, and I confess that I'm very optimistic and over again.
Ranked 7 th position of the 500 Greatest Songs of the Rolling Stones, something that could be discussed much, both the position of the track as the list in general, I think for almost all those of my fifth its sound almost immediately evokes the great eighties movie "Back to the Future", specifically the scene in which Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) leaves blown away to school kids after her performance.
Ultimately, one of those very few songs that do not get tired of hearing. Well thank you very much, and say if you want.
