[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
He didn't mean to shoot the guard, but he was blinded by the greed
[Chorus]
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
Yeah
[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, 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 thе cops have got him surrounded and he doеsn't stand a hope
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, you better run
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
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, oh, Johnny
Look out
[Guitar Solo]
