Johnny - Daniel Rodríguez

Johnny went down to the railroad track

Said goodbye and he never came back

There’s no body that was ever found

Just legends heard of him from miles and miles around

Some say he was taken by a rapture

And some say they’ve seen a man of his stature

Comin' in and comin' out of the woods

With a long beard and a long hood

Oh what Johnny left behind

Record collection, half bottle o' wine

Volume turned up and the radio on

The record spinning it was playing his song

Singing «Johnny, Johnny be good!»

Johnny walked right over the neighborhood

Some say he left us too soon

Some say they hear him, he’s howlin' at the moon

One fine day I went out for a walk

Behind the church, the neighborhood block

Behind the school and the railroad yard

Just when I thought that I went too far

I went farther to the overlook

The one in the pictures that Johnny took

He kept one tucked inside of his favorite book

Kept one taped to the dashboard of his truck

Just when I thought it was getting late

Full moon rose the clock struck eight

Took one last look then tuned around

And as I did I heard the strangest sound

So I stopped, looked back saw a peculiar sight

A silhouette inside the pale moonlight

An' something struck me strange, somehow I knew

The silhouette was Johnny

An' Johnny’s howlin' at the-

«Johnny, Johnny be good!»

Johnny walked right over the neighborhood

Some say he left us too soon

Some say they hear him, he’s howlin' at the-

«Johnny, Johnny be good!»

Johnny walked right over the neighborhood

Some say he left us too soon

Some say they hear him, he’s howlin' at the moon
