East Side Story |
| Beneath the bare light bulb above |
| She gazed into the eyes of love |
| Bathed in the dirty neon lights |
| She begged him «don't go out tonight» |
| If we work out somehow maybe |
| We could find a way out baby |
| And he laughed and said «I got to go» |
| And she cried «no» |
| Johnny Johnny no |
| Oh Johnny Johnny no |
| His arms were warm and strong and young |
| «I promise I won’t hurt no one» |
| «Oh baby when you gonna learn |
| Them folks uptown got bread to burn |
| When they see me flash my knife |
| They’ll be fearin' for their live |
| They won’t give me trouble this I know» |
| And she cried no |
| Oh Johnny Johnny no |
| Johnny Johnny no |
| The night passed like a thousand years |
| The tenemant room had culled her tears |
| Then came a knock upon the door |
| Two men she’d never seen before |
| «Did you know Johnny Brown miss? |
| We hate to tell you this but |
| Has he a relative you know?» |
| And she cried no |
| Oh Johnny Johnny no |
| Oh Johnny why’d you go? |
