Johnny Will You
(Ace & Shanon)

Johnny, how you gettin on,
How are things all right? (?)
You told me you were here in London,
Workin' on the site.
It's meself, no doubt, that's in it now,
Don't you know me, I'm your friend?
Johnny, will you ne'er go home again?

They were worryin' when you didn't phone,
Or even drop a line,
For you said yourself it weren't the worst (?)
And the thought had crossed your mind.
There was a time you used to send
A postcard now and then,
Johnny, will you ne'er go home again?

Johnny, where's your dignity?
Johnny, where's your shame?
You're standing at the Underground
With a beer can in the rain.
From Edgware down to Charing Cross,
They all look much the same,
Johnny, will you ne'er go home again?

Johnny, will you give a damn,
Or do you really care?
Your sold your soul to a gambling (?) man,
And your wife and kids the same.
You're a stranger feelin' lonely,
Like a man without a name,
Johnny, will you ne'er go home again?
