Letra
Black-fly midnight
There's murder in the meadow
All peace and calm tranquility
Smothers over the scent of sulfur
Black dirt churning
They're burying the body
No cross, no stone is made to mark
Silent soul departs
Into afterlife
Where did Johhny go
What did Johnny do
What made him disappear
Left behind a wife
Left behind a child
But that's not all I hear
Heard he had another
Hid a little boy
Whose Mother wasn't here
Isn't it a shame
That he'll grow up wild
Just like Father dear
Nobody knows
He didn't even pack his clothes
Where'd Johnny go
Why wouldn't he leave a note
He's down the road
Rumour is he struck it rich
Decided to go
Traded his whole life for it
Black heart rotting
Life ripples and it settles
The Child grows up to farm the land
Underneath it all
Hides his Father's hand
Black soul growing
The years won't stop rolling
The crops all rot
They'll never ripe
Whispers in the night
Something isn't right
Where did Johhny go
What did Johnny do
What made him disappear
Left behind a wife
Left behind a child
But that's not all I hear
Heard he had another
Hid a little boy
Whose Mother wasn't here
Isn't it a shame
That he'll grow up wild
Just like Father dear
Nobody knows
He didn't even pack his clothes
Where'd Johnny go
Why wouldn't he leave a note
He's down the road
Rumour is he struck it rich
Decided to go
Traded his whole life for it
I saw him years later in that old train station
I saw him by the bar five states away from here
I saw him selling shoes on my own television
I saw him walking in the meadows of your field
Oooh,
Nobody knows
Oooh
Where'd Johnny go
Oooh
Nobody knows
Oooh
Where'd Johnny go
Oooh
Somebody knows
Oooh
Where'd johnny go
Oooh
Somebody knows
Oooh
Where'd johnny go
