Surabaya Johnny (Live at Café Carlyle)

[Intro] Ah Okay, now we're gonna do one of the big ones [Verse 1] I had just turned sixteen 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 with 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 hated you so, Johnny When you stand there grinning, Johnny Take that damn pipe out of your mouth, you rat [Chorus] Surabaya Johnny No one's meaner than you Surabaya Johnny My God, I still love you so Surabaya Johnny Why'm I feeling so blue? You have no heart, Johnny And I still love you so [Verse 2] At the start every day was Sunday 'Til 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, Johnny And that was that You wanted it all, Johnny I gave you more, Johnny Take that damn pipe out of your mouth, you rat [Chorus] Surabaya Johnny No one's meaner than you Surabaya Johnny My God, I still love you so Surabaya Johnny Why'm I feeling so blue? You have no heart, Johnny And I still love you so [Verse 3] I would never have thought of asking Where you got that peculiar name But from one end of the coast to the other You were known everywhere we came And 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 the ship down there waiting in the key You have no heart, Johnny You're just a louse, Johnny How can 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 [Chorus] Surabaya Johnny No one's meaner than you Surabaya Johnny Surabaya Johnny Why am I feeling so blue? You have no heart, Johnny And I still love you so [Outro] Thank you
