Status Quo - Bye Bye Johnny Lyrics






Well she drew out all her money from 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, named Johnny B. Goode
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood

I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode

She remembered taking money out from gathering crops
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 she'd be satisfied
Never thought there'd ever come a day like this
When she had to give her son a goodbye kiss

I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode

Well she finally got the letter she was dreaming 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
Every time she heard a locomotive roar
She'd be standing and a-waiting by the kitchen door

I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode

I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode
I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode

    Legend has it that Chuck berry sent QUO a telegram, yes folks, a telegram in the mid - 70's to congratulate them for producing such a magnificent 'cover version' of his song "Bye Bye Johnny"
    I suspect he had a similar opinion of "Carol' on their " Never Too Late" album in 1981

    Stateside, presumably? Yeah, they tried to get noticed mid-70's, but were discouraged/running out of cash and decided to concentrate on Europe and Australia instead. Shame, really.

    I saw them live back in early 2000’s in Australia with my bro Ben Collins , Sabina and legendary guitarist from Dragon Rob Taylor, they blew my mind , I didn’t even knew who they were back then , it was unreal , man they were so good and so much stage presence I had never forgot that concert ever since as one of the best ever .
