The Letter (That Johnny Walker Read)

Johnny Walker sat at a table in a bar
 Minding his own affairs
 Drinking his namesake over the rocks
 He was drunk, too drunk to care
 When a girl from the bar walked up beside him
 And this is what she said
 She said, a woman came by with a letter for you
 And this is what the letter said
 Dear John, please, Johnny, please come home
 I need your love and the kids, they gotta be fed
 And John, if you don't hurry back, I'll be gone
 Yes, that's what the letter said
 The letter that Johnny Walker read
 Then John, he got up from the table
 Slowly, he walked outside
 He was thinking of his wife and little children back home
 And how his drinking had ruined their lives
 Then John, he stared off into that street light
 And a vision filled his poor, poor heart with dread
 For it was him lying drunk there in that gutter
 Clutching in his hand the letter that Johnny Walker read
 And this is what it said
 Dear John, please, Johnny, please come home
 I need your love and the kids, they gotta be fed
 And John, if you don't hurry back, I'll be gone
 Yes, that's what the letter said
 The letter that Johnny Walker read
 Dear John, please, Johnny, please come home
 I need your love and the kids, they gotta be fed
 And John, if you don't hurry back, I'll be gone
