A Girl Called Johnny
The Waterboys
Letra

Intro: x2






...I remember Johnny - hey!... Johnny come lately

...I remember her shoes like a... ballerina

...A girl called Johnny who... changed her name when she

Discovered her choice was to change or to be changed




... I remember a girl called Johnny... black as hell and white as a ghost

... Don t talk about life or death she said "I ve had enough of both"

... A girl called Johnny who - was - not - scared

... They d have torn her to pieces but who would dare?

Sax solo
x2


... I remember a girl called Johnny... the train came to town, boy she got on it

Without looking back, without a word she said goodbye, well I never heard

but the noise goes on, the noise, the jazz

And the truth is in somebody else s hands

And the house that a girl called johnny built is now-just-ash-es and sand

Ashes and sand, ashes and sand
