The Letter (That Johnny Walker Read)

The Letter(That Johnny Walker Read) - Asleep At The Wheel

Johnny Walker sat at a table in a bar

Minding his own affairs

Drinking his namesake over the rocks

Getting drunk too drunk to care

When a girl in 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 dongt 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 at home

And how his drinking had ruined their lives

Then John he stared

Off into that streetlight

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 dongt 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 dongt hurry back I'll be gone

Yes that's what the letter said

The letter that Johnny Walker read

Yes that's what the letter said

The letter that Johnny Walker read

Yes that's what the letter said

The letter that Johnny Walker read
