Johnny Boy Theme Songtext
von Johnny Boy

Your time is here, get up, my boy
For the sails are hoisted high
I do think, you want to go with us
Far away on our ship
You′re old enough, if you want
Then come, but quickly, we're on our way
Boy, hurry up
Because dark clouds fill the sky

Johnny boy, Johnny boy
We′re bound for stormy weather
Johnny boy, Johnny boy
Better wish your lads farewell
Somewhere out, far away
We're sailing on together
Oh Johnny my, we are leaving tonight
Johnny, say goodbye


Fetch the sails, fasten the load
Because something is brewing
Hold strong, my boy, its the Heaven will
The sea will make you a man today
When the dance begins, tie yourself to the mast
And don't forget to pray
There is no return, if the Lord so wills
Then he will spare you

Johnny boy, Johnny boy
We′re bound for stormy weather
Johnny boy, Johnny boy
Better wish your lads farewell
And back home, far away
Our loves will grief together
Oh Johnny my, it′s live and let die
Johnny say goodbye

A Hellish night with fear of death
The sea is playing with it
And suddenly a rock appears
With no way to escape it
When the storm calms down, a ship can be seen
It tips slowly towards the stern
Only a boy sits at the mast
No one else on deck


With the first ray that breaks through the night
White sails, full speed
A ship is coming, hold on my boy
Hold on, rescue approaches
Only a mast juts out, from the rocky reef
Johnny moves no more
He is brought home
For the rest of the crew the coffins are empty

Johnny boy, Johnny boy
You were bound for stormy weather
Johnny boy, Johnny boy
May the angels guide you home
Somewhere out faraway
You lost your lives together
You had to die, the only heaven knows why
John, my boy, goodbye

Johnny boy, Johnny boy
You were bound for stormy weather
Johnny boy, Johnny boy
May the angels guide you home
Somewhere out faraway
You lost your lives together
You had to die only heaven knows why
John, my boy, goodbye
John, my boy, goodbye
