The Letter That Johnny Walker Read

Johnny Walker sat at a table in a bar

Minding his own affairs

Drinking his namesake over the rocks

He was drunk, too drunk to care

When a girl in the bar walked up beside him

And this is what she said

She said, "A woman came by with a letter for you

And this is what the letter said"

Dear, John, please, Johnny, please come home

I need your love and the kids, they've gotta be fed

And John, if you don't hurry back, I'll be gone

Yes, that's what the letter said, the letter that Johnny Walker read

Then John, he got up from the table

Slowly, so slowly, he walked outside

He was thinking of his wife and little children back at home

And how his drinking had ruined their lives

Then John, he stared off, off into that street light

And a vision filled his poor, poor heart with dread

For you see, folks, it was him lying drunk there in the gutter, clutching in his little ol' hand

The letter that Johnny Walker read, and this is what it said

Dear, John, please, Johnny, please come home

Mm, I need your love and the kids, they've gotta be fed

And John, if you don't hurry back, I'll be gone

Yes, that's what the letter said, the letter that Johnny Walker read

Dear, John, please, Johnny, please come home

I need your love and the kids, they've gotta be fed

And John, if you don't hurry back, I'll be gone

Yes, that's what the letter said, the letter that Johnny Walker read

Yes, that's what the letter said, the letter that Johnny Walker read

Yes, that's what the letter said, the letter that Johnny Walker read
