Phil Lynott - Johnny lyrics

Somewhere on the waterfront Johnny's hiding with a gun Swears he'll k** any man that tells his story He ain't sorry for what he's done He broke into a d**tore Just to cure a daily need He didn't mean to shoot the guard But he was blinded by the greed Oh Johnny, oh Johnny Oh Johnny, oh Johnny You see that nun, she's his sister She doesn't know that he's gone bad When they told it to his father It drove the old man mad Just like his mother warned him From her dying bed It's all right to lose your heart But never lose your head Oh Johnny, oh Johnny Oh Johnny, oh Johnny Look out Now the cops have got him surrounded And he doesn't stand a hope He wonders how he could be in so much trouble Over just a little dope Five to one he gets away That's the odds I'm going to give Five to four they blast him away Three to one he's going to live Oh Johnny, oh Johnny Oh Johnny, you better run Oh Johnny, oh Johnny Back in the alley where he was slain I thought I heard something move Beside the trash can lay a heart and chain The picture had been removed Just another junkyard juicer Looking for a bed It's all right to lose your heart But never lose your head Oh Johnny, oh Johnny Oh Johnny, oh Johnny Look out
