Somewhere on the waterfront
Johnny′s hiding 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
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny
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 mother warned him
From her dying bed
It′s alright to lose your mind
But never lose your head
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny
Look out
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 gonna give
Five to four they blast him away
Three to one he′s gonna live
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny
Back in the alley where he was slain
I thought I heard something move
Beside the trash can lay a heart in chains
The picture had been removed
It was just another drug card juicer
Looking for a bed
It's alright to lose your mind
But never lose your head
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny
Oh Johnny, what have they done?
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny
Look out
