Oh Johnny Oh! Lyrics

Richard X. Heyman Oh Johnny Oh!

Well didn't I tell you that my name was John
I work three days and then I'm gone
I'll work tomorrow if I wanna go
Oh Johnny Oh

Well the whole thing started some time before
When I met my match out on the barroom floor
I shouldn't have been totin' that forty-four
Oh Johnny Oh

Rain is falling upon my head
Gotta keep on runing or I'll wind up dead
And my only friend is the engineer
Oh Johnny Oh

Well sometimes I get the urge to go
Way on down to Mexico
But the people there, they all want to know about
Oh Johnny Oh

Gotta run, gotta get away quick
That train is leaving and I gotta split
And my only friend is the engineer
Oh Johnny Oh

Now I've been runnin' a long old time
I look all right but I'm really dying
And if I think too hard, I might stop trying

Oh Johnny Oh
Look out Johnny!
Oh Johnny Oh
Look out Johnny!
Oh Johnny Oh
Look out Johnny!
Oh Johnny Oh
Look out Johnny!
