Way down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
Was a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B Good
Didn't like muggers taking over his land
Johnny got clever and joined the Ku Klux Klan
I said go, go Johnny, go
GO! Go Johnny, go
GO! Go Johnny, go, go
GO! Go Johnny, go GO!
Well Johnny joined the Klan
He used to carry his shotgun in a gunny sack
Sit beneath the tree down by the railroad track
Watching for the muggers who had fought for girls
Johnny put the rifle and his flag unfurled
Muggers seen the gun held in Johnny's hand
Johnny was dispatched into another land
I said go, go Johnny, go
GO! Go Johnny, go
GO! Go Johnny, go, go
GO! Go Johnny, go GO!
Well Johnny joined the Klan
Be a man join the Ku Klux Klan
His mother told him, "One day you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big ol Klan
Many people coming from miles around
And see your burning crosses when the sun goes down
Maybe one day your name will be in lights
Saying' Johnny join the Ku Klux Klan tonight"
I said go, go Johnny, go
GO! Go Johnny, go
GO! Go Johnny, go, go
GO! Go Johnny, go GO!
Well Johnny joined the Klan
