lirik lagu the persuasions - johnny porter
[intro]
lord have mercy
well
[verse 1]
well, johnny was the oldest in his family
as i remember he was almost twenty one
but i can’t quite explain the situation
but he broke his father’s truck and stoled a gun
his mama running after him a~screaming
johnny it’s too bad, it’s too bad
[verse 2]
his daddy wonders where he got that money
he wonders if he got it right or wrong
but johnny k!lled a man in pensacola, florida
caught a freight train and and took off on the run
but johnny didn’t have much education
johnny, it’s too bad (it’s too bad)
[chorus]
well, run, johnny, run (well)
they’re rolling right behind you
go on johnny, run (well)
you know they’re gonna find you
you only come out at night
’cause you’re running for your life
johnny porter, it’s too bad
[verse 3]
it’s a shame that you should make your mother worry
well it hurts so bad to sit and watch her cry
but it won’t be long before you find an the answer
and it won’t be long it seem before you die
somebody please take the time and talk to johnny
somebody please try to help him change his ways
’cause it sure ain’t no fun
when you’re living by the gun
johnny porter, it’s too bad
[chorus]
well, run, johnny, run (well)
they’re rolling right behind you
go on, johnny, run (lawd)
you know they’re gonna find you
you only come out at night
’cause you’re running for your life
johnny porter, it’s too bad
[verse 4]
lord have mercy
oh oh
i was standing in my front door this morning
it’s a shame i could hear my neighbor say
they say johnny was no good to anybody
but it’s sad because he threw his life away
they caught him held up in some dark and dirty building
and his mother beggin’ “please lay down that gun”
that’s when johnny fired his pistol as a warning, sayin’
“as i live by, i’ll die by the gun”
that’s what he said y’all
“as i live by, i’ll die by the gun”
[chorus]
johnny porter, i
run, johnny, run (well)
they’re rolling right behind you
go on johnny, run (well)
you know they’re gonna find you
you only come out at night
’cause you’re running for your life
johnny porter, it’s too bad (oh lord)
