Flogging Molly - Sentimental Johnny lyrics

rate me

I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny

Cause Sentimental Johnny is your man

Sunshine or rain, the man's on his game

The Chairman of the boards

He said Jesus, he walks on water

Not like us, he must have been sober

Marching away, on top of his lake

The Savior of all souls

Leave me to die in the wreckage

As soon as it burns, I'll be gone

I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny (what for?)

To take in all I can (once more!)

To take in all I can (once more!)

Well it was back in good ol' 57

When Johnny met Elvis in Memphis

Rockin' on sun

Where it all begun

A story yet to end

And by this time, we're drinkin' up a fever

And in me, he has a true believer

If only I could, just for one word

To live it all again

Leave me to die in the wreckage

As soon as it burns, I'll be gone

I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny (what for?)

To take in all I can (once more!)

To take in all I can (once more!)

Rio, why don't you meet me down in Rio: again

Down in Rio, the carnival it never ends

Down in Rio, we'll find a perfect world in Rio: again

Down in Rio, where the women still love their men

Well Johnny, it's two in the mornin'

Don't you think, it's time we should go

Back to our millions of records we love

Back to our sad little homes

That was the last time I saw him

Never, no never no more

I wonder did Jesus, came to redeem him

Save poor Johnny's ol' soul

I wonder did Jesus, come to redeem him

Save poor Johnny's ol' soul

Leave me to die in the wreckage

As soon as it burns, I'll be gone

I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny (what for?)

To take in all I can (once more!)

To take in all I can (once more!)
