Good Bye Jonny

My friend Jonny loved a lady
Who was as bad as women can be
The lady's name was Lily
And Jonny loved her just as much as me

Then one night Jonny lost his head
He found her naked in a sailor's bed
Jonny cried, oh no
Lily sighed, please go
But he pulled a gun instead
The gun, it made a bang
And all the angels sang
Goodbye

Goodbye Lily, goodbye Lily
We could have had it all
But it never lasts forever
And now we've nothing at all

Goodbye Lily, goodbye Lily
Life can be so cruel
I'll keep going, just keep going
Just another poor fool
And though my heart may break in two
A hundred years from now
These things will all be forgotten

Goodbye Lily, goodbye Lily
We were more than friends
Someday maybe, in heaven maybe
Or the other place
I may see your face
And be happy again

My friend Jonny was a rover
He was a gypsy who never had a home
But now his journey's over
And flowers grow on top of his bones

Into battle we both were led
With Jonny carrying our flag ahead
And though the day was dark
A bomber found his mark
Just another young man's head
The bomb, it made a boom
Which spelled poor Jonny's doom
Goodbye

Goodbye Jonny, goodbye Jonny
We could have had it all
But it never lasts forever
And now we've nothing at all

Goodbye Jonny, goodbye Jonny
Life can be so cruel
I'll keep going, just keep going
Just another poor fool
And though my heart may break in two
A hundred years from now
These things will all be forgotten

Goodbye Jonny, goodbye Jonny
We were more than friends
Someday maybe, in heaven maybe
Or the other place
I may see your face
And be happy again
