Lyrics - Bye Bye Johnny by Staus Quo

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

Goode
She remembered making money out from gathering crops
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'll be satisfied
Never thought there'd ever come a day like this
When she got to give her son a goodbye kiss
I said
Bye

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 they heard a locomotive roar
They'd be standing, a waiting by the kitchen door
I said
Bye
Bye
Bye
