Johnny Booker

John Phillips

[Verse 1]
When Johnny come from Ireland
He thought to be a wealthy man
Worked his life on a railroad line
Was never able to save a dime

[Chorus]
Johnny, hey, Johnny Booker
Johnny (Well lit), hey, Johnny lad
Johnny (Johnny), hey, Johnny Booker
Come to the dance or it's too damn bad

[Verse 2]
He would not drink from cup nor mug
Johnny used a gallon jug
If a gallon jug could not be found
Tilt the barrel up and down

[Chorus]
Johnny, hey, Johnny Booker
Johnny (Well lit), hey, Johnny lad
Johnny (Johnny), hey, Johnny Booker
Come to the dance or it's too damn bad

[Verse 3]
An angel come to Johnny's room
Says, "You'd better change and soon"
Johnny triеd by said, "Ah well
I'll have more fun with my friеnds in Hell"

[Chorus]
Johnny, hey, Johnny Booker
Johnny, (Well lit) hey, Johnny lad
Johnny (Johnny), hey, Johnny Booker
Come to the dance or it's too damn bad

[Verse 4]
Work all day, dance all night
Johnny was the man of might
Such a man is surely rare
He never missed the evenin' prayer

[Bridge]
Argh-men
Halleluyah
Michael, row the boat ashore
Hallelu-I don't think so

[Chorus]
Johnny, hey, Johnny Booker
Johnny (Johnny, Johnny), hey, Johnny lad
Johnny (Well lit), hey, Johnny Booker
Come to the dance or it's too damn bad

[Outro]
Come to the dance or it's too damn bad
(It's a classical guitar)
Come to the dance or it's too
Damn bad!

(Thank you)
(Lemme have a cold one)
