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



Here we go



Grim reaper he pulled up into my drive

Grim reaper pulled his little old chevrolet right up onto the goddamn drive

"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
