The Letter That Johnny Walker Read

The Letter That Johnny Walker Read - Asleep At The Wheel

Johnny walker sat at a table in a bar

Minding his own affairs

Drinking his namesake over the rocks

He was drunk too drunk to care

When a girl from the bar walked up beside him

And this is what she said

She said a woman came by with a letter for you

This is what the letter said

Dear john please johnny please come home

I need your love and the kids they gotta be fed

And john if you don't hurry back I'll be gone

Yes that's what the letter said

The letter that johnny walker read

Then john he got up from the table

Slowly he walked outside

He was thinking of his wife

And little children back home

And how his drinking had ruined their lives

Then john he stared off into that street light

And a vision filled his poor poor heart with dread

It was him lying drunk there in that gutter

Clutching in his hand

The letter that johnny walker read

And this is what it said

Dear john please johnny please come home

I need your love and the kids they gotta be fed

And john if you don't hurry back I'll be gone

Yes that's what the letter said

The letter that johnny walker read

Dear john please johnny please come home

I need your love and the kids they gotta be fed

Oh and john if you don't hurry back

I'll be gone
