I've done a version (yes...another one) of Johnny Booker that The Journeymer (John Philips' gig before The Mamas & Papas) released in the 60s...

Johnny Booker (D)                                       C position on 2


          1          5                1 4      1          5       1          5
When Johnny come from Ireland he was not a wealthy man,
1                5            1            4    1                     5         1
Worked all day on a railroad line never able to save a dime.

       6m                         5
        Johnny (well it’s), hey, Johnny Booker,
       6m                         5
        Johnny (well it’s), hey, Johnny lad,
       6m                         5
        Johnny (well it’s), hey, Johnny Booker,
          1                                     4    5       1
        Come to the dance or it's too damn bad. (we'll all feel bad if audience dictates)

He never drank from cup nor mug, Johnny used a gallon jug,
If a gallon jug could not be found, tilt the barrel upside down.

An Angel came to Johnny’s room, said “you’d better change and soon,”
Johnny tried but said “oh well, I’ll have more fun with my friends in hell.”

Work all day, drink all night, Johnny was a man of might,
Such a man is surely rare, he never missed the evening prayer.
