Johnstown Lyrics


Oh Susanna Johnstown


It’s rainin’ down in Johnstown,
I’m waiting for the flood
Sinkin’ steady drink on a Sunday
thinkin’, "Somebody pull the plug."
She coulda done what she was told,
she coulda used her head,
She was a hooker with a heart of gold
but now she’s fulla lead.

Chorus: And it’s so long, I’m movin’on,
my face no more you’ll see,
This world’s a weight chained to my back
Somebody set it free.
We shared a sunrise at the Mostrador,
she looked at me and smiled,
It didn’t take long to hook that whore
and ditch that joint in style.
Well I showed her my fist, I showed her my tongue,
I showed her a real good time,
Last thing I showed her was the butt of my gun
and a shot straight down the line.

(Chorus)

My soul is empty, my pockets full
now that my work is done.
I’ll see ya, sister, when your minister
blows me to kingdom come.
I’m waiting for that final day when I get
what I deserve,
That’s when I’ll reap what I have raised
and meet the god I serve.
And it’s so long, I’m movin’ on, my face
no more you’ll see,
This world’s a weight chained to my back
Somebody set it free.
This world’s a weight chained to my back
Somebody set it free
