Johnny's Blues

Well, Johnny come in last night.\nMan he was an awful sight.\nThe Bartender said, «Hey Johnny!\nThere’ll be no band tonight»\n«The piano-man's drunk,\nHe been down in the dumps.\nThe drummer’s in bed,\nHe got a pain in his head.\nNo Johnny,\nThere’ll be no band tonight.»\nThe clock was stickin' close to ten\nThe mailman came runnin' in.\nHe said, «Any-body here named Johnny?\nI got a Special deliv’ry for him.»\n«It's from a woman he knows,\nIt’s from his Bayou Rose,\nThe girl of his dreams\nwants a wedding ring»\n…Love Rosie\n«I've got a letter for him».\nWell Johnny jumped up from his beer\nTold the mailman, «Yes I’m here»\nAn' then he read it out loud to the bar room crowd\nBut before they had a chance to cheer\nHe said «Call up the band\nI’m a happy man\nI want them to play\nOn my wedding day»\nWhen he told them,\nThey had a chance to cheer.\nThe piano-man came even though it was rainin'\nThe drummer was drummn' just like and insane man.\nThey tore off the roof they knocked down the doors\nAnd Johnny an' his bride drove away in her Ford\nSlappin' the dash to the beat of the band\nDraggin' behind them a string of tin cans\nAnd they ain’t been back yet but I know when they do\nJohnny’s gonna play some of the sweetest blues
