Julie Wilson Surabaya Johnny
When we met I forgot to ask you
Up the river and down to the sea
I'm tired, I'm worn out
You got no heart, Johnny but oh, I love you so much
And some old woman looks back at me
Surabaya Johnny, will the hurt ever mend?
Don't laugh at me no more, Johnny
I gave you all I had you wanted more
Surabaya Johnny, will the hurt ever mend?
And I did and you took me away
Surabaya Johnny, is it really the end?
Surabaya Johnny, ooh, I burn at your touch
You sure had me fooled, right from the start
And I reach out my arms to hold you
Till I packed up and went off with you
I found out, and I loved you all the same
You didn't want love, Johnny, you wanted money
Surabaya Johnny, ooh, I burn at your touch
And you said, "I have a job on the railroad
Surabaya Johnny, will the hurt ever mend?
You said a lot, Johnny it was all lies
Oh, don't look at me that way, I'm only trying to talk
to you
And baby, how swell it's all gonna be"
Wipe that grin off your face, Johnny
You got no heart, Johnny you're just no good
I hate you when you laugh at me like that
I love you after all, Johnny, like that very first day
I said, "Do you work nice and steady
You going now? Oh, tell me why
Surabaya Johnny, is it really the end?
You laughed at me and hit me too
You're not here and who even cares?
Why they called you that funny name
You got no heart, Johnny but oh, I love you so much
And you told me to pack up my suitcase
You dragged me all over the city
But in every hotel on the seacoast
The sea's pounding in my ears
And it lasted two weeks until one day
Now I look at myself in the mirror
Surabaya Johnny, ooh, I burn at your touch
Surabaya Johnny, is it really the end?
Thought at first you were kind and gentle
Take that pipe out of your mouth, Johnny
You got no heart, Johnny but oh, I love you so much
Or do you go sailing and roving out to sea?"
