I had just turned 16 that season,
when you came up from
Burma to stay
And you told me I ought to travel with you,
you were sure it would be okay
When I asked how you earned your living,
I can still hear what you said to me
You had some kind of job on the railway,
and had nothing to do with the sea
You said a lot,
Johnny, all one big lie,
Johnny
You cheated me blind,
Johnny, from the minute we met
I hate you so,
Johnny, when you stand
there grinning,
Johnny
Take that damn pipe out of your mouth,
you rat
Surabaya
Johny, no one's meaner than you
Surabaya
Johny, my
God, and I still love you, sir
Surabaya
Johnny, why my feel ings so blue?
You have no heart
Johnny, and I still love you so
At the start every day was
Sunday
Till we went on our way one fine night
And before two more weeks were over
You thought nothing I did was right
So we trekked up and down
through the
Punjab
From the source of the river to the sea
When I look at my
face in the mirror
There's an old woman
staring back at me
You didn't want love,
Johnny
You wanted cash,
Johnny, but I saw your lips,
and that was that
You wanted it all,
Johnny, I gave you more,
Johnny
Take that damn pipe out of your mouth,
you rat.
Surabaya
Johnny, no one's
meaner than you.
Surabaya
Johnny, my
God, and I still love you so.
Surabaya
Johnny, why my feelings so blue?
You have no heart
Johnny, and I still love you so.
I would never have thought of asking
how you got that peculiar name
But from one end of the coast to the other
you were known everywhere we came
An d one day in a two -bit flophouse
I'll wake up to the roar of the sea
And you'll leave without one word of warning
on a ship waiting down at the quay
You have no heart,
Johnny, you're just a louse,
Johnny
How could you go,
Johnny, and leave me flat?
You're still my love,
Johnny, like the day we met,
Johnny
Take that damn pipe out of your mouth,
you rat
Surabaya
Johny, no one's meaner than you,
Surabaya
Johny, my
God, I still love you so.
Surabaya
Johnny, why my
feel ings so blue
You have no heart
Johnny, and I still love
you so
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank
