The Letter That Johnny Walker Read

Johnny Walker sat at a table in a bar, minding his own affairs.

Drinking his namesake's gold on the rocks,

getting drunk, too drunk to care

When a girl in the bar walked up his side and this is what she said

She said: "A woman came by and left 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 staggered off into the streetlight

And a vision filled his poor, poor heart with dread

For it was him lying drunk there in the 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...
