Well lucky number seven passed me by
Lucky number seven called my name and passed on by
He came back don't you know
With his brother six in tow
That is how number thirteen wound up by my side
And that is how I got these lonesome Johnny Blues
How I got these lonesome Johnny Blues
Got the lonesome Johnny Blues
And there's nothing I can do
'Cept sing these sad old weary lonesome Johnny Blues
Here we go
Grim reaper he pulled up into my drive
Grim reaper pulled his big black chevrolet
Right up onto my drive
Say Johnny I haven't come for you
But I want someone who's dear to you
The price you pay is to remain alive
And I'll stay here with these lonesome Johnny Blues
Stay here with these lonesome Johnny Blues
With the lonesome Johnny Blues
And there's nothing I can do
'Cept sing these sad old weary lonesome Johnny Blues
Woah no more trouble send him down the road won't you please
No more trouble won't you beat him up won't you send him down the road
Trouble dumped out the trash
Ransacked my place for cash
And he wound up taking much more than I own
And he left me with these lonesome Johnny Blues
Left me with these lonesome Johnny Blues
With the lonesome Johnny Blues
And there's nothing I can do
'Cept sing these sad old weary lonesome Johnny Blues
Now I got these lonesome Johnny Blues
Now I got these lonesome Johnny Blues
I got lonesome Johnny Blues
And there's nothing I can do
'Cept sing these sad old weary lonesome Johnny Blues
Johnny Blues
Sad old weary lonesome Johnny Blues
Johnny Blues
Sad old weary lonesome Johnny Blues
