Way down in 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 Good
Didn't like muggers taking over his land
Johnny got clever and joined the Ku Klux Klan

Go, go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Well 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 muggers who had robbed the girls
Johnny put up the rifle and his flag unfurled
Muggers seen the gun held in Johnny's hand
Johnny put his life into another land

Go, go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Well Johnny joined the Klan

His mother told him one day you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old Klan
Many [bad word] from miles around
And see your burning crosses when the sun goes down
Maybe one day your name will be in light
Saying' Johnny join the Ku Klux Klan tonight

Go, go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Well Johnny joined the Klan
