Lyrics
Johnny
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Johnny was a hustler, drove a custom Continental
The girls called him daddy, down sugar, get down or run along
Kate, good big Johnny was bein' that straight
So late, Kate had to pick up some money that should have been paid
Johnny, Johnny, the woman works your nerves, boy
Your pride Johnny, your pride got disturbed, boy
Johnny, Johnny, the woman works your nerves, boy
Your pride Johnny, Johnny
Johnny don't like Ruthers, Kate got his morter gun
Boys get the word out, find out where Kate's gone having fun
Kate made the mistake of going to see Jerome
Johnny's boys broke down the door and shot 'em while they were alone
Johnny, Johnny, the woman works your nerves, boy
Your pride Johnny, your pride got disturbed, boy
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
(Solo)
Oh Kate made the mistake of going to see Jerome
Johnny's boys broke down the door and shot 'em while they were alone
Johnny, Johnny, the woman works your nerves, boy
Your pride Johnny, your pride got disturbed, boy
(repeats out)
