Johnny's Far Away



Richard Thompson - Johnny's Far Away - Текст песни

  • текст
(Richard Thompson) 

Johnny's joined a ceilidh band, 
They're known quite well throughout the land, The Drones 
The Drones are signed up on a cruise 
While Tracey's laying in the booze back home 
She's got herself another man, a smoothie 
While the kids are in the front room watching movies 
She's got him in a head lock, in an arm lock, in a jam 
She says, I can't express myself with my old man 

While Johnny's Far away on the Rolling, Rolling 
Johnny's Far Away On The Rolling Sea 

Johnny's cruising out to sea 
And he believes in chastity - for some 
The wealthy widows bill and coo 
He fends off one or two, and then succumbs 
As they're turning hard-a-port in the Bahamas 
He's turning her right out of her pyjamas 
He's turned her every which way to the rhythm of the sea 
He says, I can't express myself with my old lady 

While Johnny's Far away on the Rolling, Rolling 
Johnny's Far Away On The Rolling Sea 

Johnny's home, he opens up his door 
While someone's sneaking out the back 
And Tracey says, you look so poorly 
Sores and all, you need to see the quack 
She wipes the snot from off the kiddies' noses 
He charms her with eleven battered roses 
And by and by they get down to the job of man and wife 
Back to the old comforts of the missionary life 

While Johnny's Far away on the Rolling, Rolling 
Johnny's Far Away On The Rolling Sea
