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

When a girl from 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 gotta be fed

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

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 into that street light

In a vision filled his poor poor heart with dread

For you see folks it was him lying drunk in the gutter

Clutching in his hand the letter that Johnny Walker read

Dear John please Johnny please come home

I need your love and the kids they gotta be fed

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

The letter that Johnny Walker read

Dear John please Johnny please come home

I need your love and the kids they gotta be fed

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

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
