Lonesome Johnny Blues Lyrics - Kerosene Hat - Cracker

Well, lucky number seven passed me by 

Lucky number seven called my name and passed on by 

Well, he came back, don't you know with his brother six in tow 

And that is how number thirteen wound up by my side 

And that is how I got these Lonesome Johnny Blues 

How I got these Lonesome Johnny Blues 

Got the Lonesome Johnny Blues and there's nothing I can do 

'Cept sing these sad old weary Lonesome Johnny Blues 

Come on, let's sing 

Grim Reaper, he pulled up into my drive, yes he did y'all 

Grim Reaper pulled his little old Chevrolet, right up onto the goddamn drive 

Said Johnny, I haven't come for you but I want someone who's dear to you 

And the price you pay is to remain alive 

And I'll stay here with these Lonesome Johnny Blues 

Stay here with these Lonesome Johnny Blues 

With the Lonesome Johnny Blues and there's nothing I can do 

'Cept sing these sad old weary Lonesome Johnny Blues 

Woah, no more trouble send him down the road, won't you please 

No more trouble won't you beat him up, won't you send him down the road 

Trouble dumped out the trash, ransacked the place for cash 

And he wound up taking much more than I own 

And he left me with these Lonesome Johnny Blues 

Left me with these Lonesome Johnny Blues 

With the Lonesome Johnny Blues and there's nothing I can do 

'Cept sing these sad old weary Lonesome Johnny Blues 

Johnny Blues 

The sad old weary Lonesome Johnny Blues 

Johnny Blues 

The sad old weary Lonesome Johnny Blues
