Well, she drew out all her money out from Southern Trust
And put a little boy aboard a Greyhound bus
Leaving Louisiana for the golden west
Down came her tears from her happiness
Her own little son named Johnny B Goode
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye
Bye-bye, Johnny
Bye-bye, Johnny B Goode
Well she remember taking money out from gathering crops
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
As long as he could play it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble she'd be satisfied
Never thought there'd ever come a day like this
When she would gladly give her son a goodbye kiss
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye
Bye-bye, Johnny
Bye-bye, Johnny B Goode
Well she finally got the letter she was dreaming of
Well, Johnny wrote and told her he done fell in love
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
And build a mansion for her by the railroad tracks
And every time they heard the locomotive roar
They'd be a-standing, waving in the kitchen door
Howling bye-bye, bye-bye
Howling bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye, Johnny
Bye-bye, Johnny B Goode
Well, she drew out all her money out from Southern Trust
Bem, ela retirou todo o seu dinheiro do Southern Trust
And put a little boy aboard a Greyhound bus
E colocou um pequeno garoto a bordo de um ônibus Greyhound
Leaving Louisiana for the golden west
Deixando a Louisiana para o oeste dourado
Down came her tears from her happiness
Desceram suas lágrimas de felicidade
Her own little son named Johnny B Goode
Seu próprio filhinho chamado Johnny B Goode
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood
Ia fazer alguns filmes em Hollywood
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye
Tchau-tchau, tchau-tchau, tchau
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye
Tchau-tchau, tchau-tchau, tchau
Bye-bye, Johnny
Tchau-tchau, Johnny
Bye-bye, Johnny B Goode
Tchau-tchau, Johnny B Goode
Well she remember taking money out from gathering crops
Bem, ela se lembra de tirar dinheiro da colheita
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
E comprar a guitarra do Johnny em uma loja de penhores
As long as he could play it by the railroad side
Desde que ele pudesse tocá-la ao lado da ferrovia
And wouldn't get in trouble she'd be satisfied
E não se metesse em problemas, ela ficaria satisfeita
Never thought there'd ever come a day like this
Nunca pensou que chegaria um dia como este
When she would gladly give her son a goodbye kiss
Quando ela daria de bom grado um beijo de despedida em seu filho
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye
Tchau-tchau, tchau-tchau, tchau
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye
Tchau-tchau, tchau-tchau, tchau
Bye-bye, Johnny
Tchau-tchau, Johnny
Bye-bye, Johnny B Goode
Tchau-tchau, Johnny B Goode
Well she finally got the letter she was dreaming of
Bem, ela finalmente recebeu a carta que estava sonhando
Well, Johnny wrote and told her he done fell in love
Bem, Johnny escreveu e disse a ela que ele se apaixonou
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
Assim que ele se casasse, ele a traria de volta
And build a mansion for her by the railroad tracks
E construiria uma mansão para ela ao lado dos trilhos do trem
And every time they heard the locomotive roar
E toda vez que ouvissem o rugido da locomotiva
They'd be a-standing, waving in the kitchen door
Eles estariam de pé, acenando na porta da cozinha
Howling bye-bye, bye-bye
Gritando tchau-tchau, tchau-tchau
Howling bye-bye, bye-bye
Gritando tchau-tchau, tchau-tchau
Bye-bye, Johnny
Tchau-tchau, Johnny
Bye-bye, Johnny B Goode
Tchau-tchau, Johnny B Goode
