The Ballad Of 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 boy, thought he was a man
Thought he lived in a world that didn't understand
But it's alright, alright
Mama came down and stood right there
Said, "Johnny boy, don't you feel scared
'Cause it's alright, alright"
Johnny was a boy, thought he was a man
Thought he lived in a world that didn't understand
Johnny was a boy, thought he was alone
But it's alright if you're feeling low, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When you're feeling low, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When you're feeling low, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When you're feeling low, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When you're feeling low, Johnny
Papa turned around and what did he say
He said, "Johnny boy don't you feel that way
'Cause it's alright, alright"
Another came in and what do you know
Said, "Johnny boy don't you feel so low
'Cause it's alright, alright"
Johnny was a boy, thought he was a man
Thought he lived in a world that didn't understand
Johnny was a boy, thought he was alone
But it's alright if you're feeling low, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When you're feeling low, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When you're feeling low, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When you're feeling low, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When you're feeling low, Johnny
Well it's not alright when you ain't got nowhere to sleep
And it's not alright when you ain't got nothing to eat
And it's not alright when you ain't got no one to love you
But johnny boy you got all that stuff
But it's not alright, no, it's not alright, cause it's not alright, no it's not alright, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When you're feeling low, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When you're feeling low, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When you're feeling low, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When you're feeling low, Johnny
