Thin Lizzy - Johnny текст песни

Somewhere on the waterfront

Johnnys hiding with a gun

Swears hell kill any man that tells his story

Hes not sorry for what hes done

He broke into a drugstore

To cure his daily need

He didnt mean to shoot the guard

But he was blinded by the greed

Oh johnny

You see that nun, shes his sister

She doesnt know that hes gone bad

When they told it to his father

It drove the old man mad

Just as his mother warned him

From her dying bed

Its alright to lose your heart

But never lose your head

Oh johnny

Now the cops have got him surrounded

And he doesnt stand a hope

He wonders how he could be in so much trouble

Over just a little dope

Five to one he gets away

Thats the odds Im going to give

Five to four they blast him away

Three to one hes going to live

Oh johnny

Back in the alley where he was slain

I thought I heard something move

Beside the trash can lay a heart and chain

The picture had been removed

Just another juiced up junkie

Looking for a bed

Its alright to lose your heart

But never lose your head

Oh johnny
