No other reason than it's got under my skin and feel it should be here. The author is someone called "Unknown" and I gather it was one of Rolf's minor hits in the UK back in the early sixties. It is very much in the same vein as "Sun Arise" Allan JOHNNY DAY Johnny a'Day Day. Johnny a'Day. Young Johnny a'Day Day. Johnny. Couching unarmed and completely alone, and just a hundred yards away, his enemy is set to slay Johnny a'Day Day Johnny a'Day. Three spears he holds, and a woomera, too and there's the blood lust a'burning every time his eyes are turning to Johnny a'Day Day Johnny a'Day. Sad the tribe as they wait for the death of young Johnny a'Day Day Johnny. She was to marry a much older man, but all the love she had was for the tall and handsome lad they call Johnny a'Day Day Johnny a'Day. Three weeks have passed since the pair ran away, but they were both dragged back when all the hunters set to track young Johnny a'Day Day Johnny a'Day. Johnny was brought before the council of elders and he heard them say Three, give the older men three spears against you, thrown when the sun stands high today. Ha!, there's the signal, the enemy leaps, a flashing spear is hurled and then the second and the third towards Johnny a'Day Day Johnny a'Day. Johnny dives flat back and rolls to his right and then the jump - turns, twists, and all the spears have missed Johnny a'Day Day Johnny a'Day. The tribe goes wild as they welcome to life again Johnny a'Day Day Johnny. Johnny is living again Johnny a'Day Day. Johnny is living again Johnny.
