Jim & Jesse - Bye Bye Johnny lyrics

She drew out all her money out of the Southern Trust And put her little boy aboard a Greyhound Bus Leaving Louisiana for the Golden West Down came the tears from her happiness Her own little son name Johnny B Goode Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye Bye bye Johnny goodbye Johnny B Goode She remembered taking money out from gatherin' crop And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop As long as he would play it by the railroad side And wouldn't get in trouble he was satisfied But never thought that there would come a day like this When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss Sayin' bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye... [ mandolin ] She finally got the letter she was dreamin' of 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 them by the railroad track So every time they heard the locomotive roar They'd be a standin' a wavin' by the kitchen door Sayin' bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye...
