Johnny (John Peel Session, 1976) - Thin Lizzy
Somewhere on the waterfront
Johnny's hiding with a gun
Swears he'll kill any man that
tells his story
He's not sorry for what he's done
He broke into a drugstore
just to cure 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 alright to lose your heart
But never lose your head
Oh Johnny Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny Oh Johnny

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 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 drug addict juiced
Looking for a bed
It's alright to lose your heart
But never lose your head
Oh Johnny Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny what happened to him
Oh Johnny Oh Johnny look out
