Surabaya Johnny
(专辑: 20th Century Blues - 1997)
I
had just turned sixteen that season When you came up from Burma to stay And you told me I
ought to travel with you You were sure it would be OK When I
asked how you earned your living I
can still hear what you said to me You had some kind of job on the
railway And had nothing to do with the
sea You said a
lot, Johnny All one big lie, Johnny You cheated me blind, Johnny From the
minute we met I
hate you so, Johnny When you stand there grinning, Johnny Take that damn pipe out of your mouth, you rat Surabaya Johnny No one's meaner than you Surabaya Johnny My God and I
still love you so Surabaya Johnny Why am I
feeling so blue? You have no heart, Johnny And I
still love you so At the
start, every day was Sunday Till we went on our way one fine night And before two more weeks were over You thought nothing I
did was right So we trekked up and down through the
Punjab From the
source of the
river to the
sea When I
look at my face in the
mirror There's an old woman staring back at me You didn't want love, Johnny You wanted cash, Johnny But I
sewed your lips, Johnny And that was that You wanted it all, Johnny I
gave you more, Johnny Take that damn pipe out of your mouth, you rat Surabaya Johnny No one's meaner than you Surabaya Johnny My God and I
still love you so Surabaya Johnny Why am I
feeling so blue? You have no heart, Johnny And I
still love you so I
would never have thought of asking How you'd got that peculiar name But from one end of the
coast to the
other You were known everywhere we came And one day in a
two-bit flophouse I'll wake up to the
roar of the
sea And you'll leave without one word of warning On a
ship waiting down at the
quay You have no heart, Johnny You're just a
louse, Johnny How could you go, Johnny And leave me flat? You're still my love, Johnny Like the
day we met, Johnny Take that damn pipe out of your mouth, you rat Surabaya Johnny No one's meaner than you Surabaya Johnny My God and I
still love you so Surabaya Johnny Why am I
feeling so blue? You have no heart, Johnny And I
still love you so Thank you! Thank you very much!
