The Wilburn Brothers - Little Johnny from Down the Street lyrics

Who threw a brick through my front gla** little Johnny from down the street Who's been diggin' up the courthouse gra** little Johnny from down the street Who's been pullin' little Janie's pigtails who filled the whole street up with nails Turned the neighbors thirty shades of pale little Johnny from down the street I tried to find and whip that kid but he ran off somewhere and hid He blames other kids for the things he did little Johnny from down the street Who turned the garter snake loose in school who put frogs in the swimmin' pool Who taught the other kids how to cuss and put little brother on the interstate bus Little Johnny from down the street ( steel ) Who's that boy that's all grown up little Johnny from down the street Who fell head over heels in love little Johnny from down the street Wouldn't you know it's the same little girl that used to cry when he pulled her curls Now Janie thinks Johnny is her whole world little Johnny from down the street Then orders from his country came he pulled out on the midnight train Now Janie's cryin' with a different pain for little Johnny from down the street Who is it everybody misses now the neighborhood's quiet where it used to be loud Who is it won't be coming home died in a foreign land all alone Little Johnny from down the street For people like me he gave his life he made the biggest sacrifice Never had a chance to make Janie his wife Little Johnny from down the street little Johnny from down the street
