Johnny Joined The Klan

Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens!
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode!
Johnny didnt like niggers taking over his land
Johnny got clever and joined the Ku-Klux-Klan!

Go go
Go Johnny go!
Go!
Go Johnny go!
Go!
Go Johnny go!
Go!
Go Johnny go, go, go!
Johnny joined the Klan!

He used to carry his shotgun in a gunny sack
And sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Watching for the niggers who had robbed the girls
Johnny put up the rifle and his flag unfurled
Niggers seen the gun held in Johnny’s hand
Johnny put his life into another land

Go go
Go Johnny go!
Go!
Go Johnny go!
Go!
Go Johnny go!
Go!
Go Johnny go, go, go!
Johnny joined the Klan!

Be a man
Join the Ku-Klux-Klan!

His mother told him “Someday you will be a man
and you will be the leader of a big old Klan!
Many people coming from miles around when the sun go down!
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying: “Johnny join the Ku-Klux-Klan tonight!”
Go go
Go Johnny go!
Go!
Go Johnny go!
Go!
Go Johnny go!
Go!
Go Johnny go, go, go!
Johnny joined the Klan!
