Lonesome Johnny Blues Songtext
von Cracker

Well, lucky number seven passed me by
Lucky number seven called my name and passed on by
He came back, don′t you know
With his brother six in tow
That's how number 13 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
′Cause there's ain't nothing I can do
′Cept sing these sad old weary lonesome Johnny blues
Here we go

Grim reaper, he pulled up into my drive (yes, he did)
A grim reaper pulled his big black Chevrolet right up into my drive
See, Johnny, I haven′t come for you
But I want someone who's dear to you
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
Alright!

(Take it to the right-hand side)

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, and ransacked my place for cash
I 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 (sing away)

Whoa
Now, I got these lonesome Johnny blues
Now, I got these lonesome Johnny blues
I got the lonesome Johnny blues, and there′s nothing I can do
'Cept sing these sad old weary lonesome Johnny blues

Johnny blues
Sad old weary lonesome Johnny blues
Johnny blues
The sad old weary lonesome Johnny blues
