Текст песни Johnny, Thin Lizzy

Somewhere on the waterfront
Johnny s hiding with a gun
Swears he ll kill any man that tells his story
He s not sorry for what he s done

He broke into a drugstore
To cure his daily need
He didn t mean to shoot the guard
But he was blinded by the greed

Oh Johnny

You see that nun, she s his sister
She doesn t know that he s gone bad
When they told it to his father
It drove the old man mad

Just as his mother warned him
From her dying bed
It s alright to lose your heart
But never lose your head

Oh Johnny

Now the cops have got him surrounded
And he doesn 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 going to give
Five to four they blast him away
Three to one he s going to live

Oh Johnny

Back in the alley where he was slain
I thought I heard something move
Beside the trash can lay a heart and chain
The picture had been removed

Just another juiced up junkie
Looking for a bed
It s alright to lose your heart
But never lose your head

Oh Johnny
