Goode She remembered taking money earned from gathering crop And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop As long as he was playing by the railroad side And wouldn't get in trouble, he was satisfied But never thought there'd ever come a day like this When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss Hollerin' Bye Bye Bye Bye Hollerin' Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode She finally got the letter she was dreaming of When 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'standing, a'waving in the kitchen door Hollerin' Bye Bye Bye Bye Hollerin' Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Johnny Goodbye Johnny B. Goode Johnny Bye Bye Bruce Springsteen January 1983 She drew out all her money from the Southern Trust And put her little boy on a greyhound bus Leaving Memphis with a guitar in his hand On a one-way ticket to the promised land Well hey little girl with the red dress on There's a party tonight down in Memphis town I'll be going down there if you need a ride The man on the radio says Elvis Presley's died We drove down to Memphis, the sky was hard and black Up over the ridge came a white cadillac They'd drawn out all his money and they laid him in the back A woman cried from the roadside "Ah he's gone, he's gone" They found him slumped up against the drain With a whole lot of trouble running through his veins Bye Bye Johnny Johnny Bye Bye You didn't have to die You didn't have to die
