[Verse 1]
Somewhere on the waterfront, Johnny's hidin' with a gun
Swears he'll kill any man that tells his story, he ain't sorry for what he's done
He broke into a drugstore just to cure a daily need
Didn't mean to shoot the guard, but he was blinded by the greed
[Chorus]
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
[Verse 2]
See that nun, she's his sister, she doesn't know that he's gone bad
When they told it to his papa, well, it drove the old man mad
Just like his mama warned him from her dyin' bed
"It's alright to lose your heart, but never lose your head"
[Chorus]
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
Look out
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Now the cops havе got him surrounded and he doesn't stand a hopе
He wonders how he could be in so much trouble over just a little dope
Five-to-one he gets away, that's the odds I'm gonna give
Five-to-four they blast him away, three-to-one he's gonna live
[Chorus]
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
[Verse 4]
Back in the alley where he was slain, thought I heard somethin' move
Beside the trash can lay a heart and chain, the picture had been removed
It was just another junkyard juicer lookin' for a bed
It's alright to lose your heart, but never lose your head
[Chorus]
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
Oh, Johnny, what have they done?
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
Look out
[Guitar Solo]
