| Well, lucky number seven passed me by
|
| Lucky number seven called my name and passed on by
|
| Well he came back don’t you know
|
| With his brother six in tow
|
| And that is how number thirteen wound up by my side
|
| And that is how I got these lonesome johnny blues
|
| How I got these lonesome johnny blues
|
| Got the lonesome johnny blues
|
| And there’s nothing I can do
|
| 'cept sing these sad old weary lonesome johnny blues
|
| Here we go
|
| Grim reaper he pulled up into my drive
|
| Grim reaper pulled his little old chevrolet right up onto the goddamn drive
|
| «johnny, I haven’t come for you
|
| But I want someone who’s dear to you
|
| And the price you pay is to remain alive»
|
| And I’ll stay here with these lonesome johnny blues
|
| Stay here with these lonesome johnny blues
|
| With the lonesome johnny blues
|
| And there’s nothing I can do
|
| 'cept sing these sad old weary lonesome johnny blues
|
| Woah, no more trouble send him down the road, won’t you please
|
| No more trouble won’t you beat him up, won’t you send him down the road
|
| Trouble dumped out the trash
|
| Ransacked the place for cash
|
| And he wound up taking much more than I own
|
| And he left me with these lonesome johnny blues
|
| Left me with these lonesome johnny blues
|
| With the lonesome johnny blues
|
| And there’s nothing I can do
|
| 'cept sing these sad old weary lonesome johnny blues
|
| Johnny blues
|
| The sad old weary lonesome johnny blues
|
| Johnny blues
|
| The sad old weary lonesome johnny blues |
