Johnny was a hustler, drove a custom Continental

The girls called him daddy, down sugar, get down or run along

Kate, good big Johnny was bein' that straight

So late, Kate had to pick up some money that should have been paid



Johnny, Johnny, the woman works your nerves, boy

Your pride Johnny, your pride got disturbed, boy

Johnny, Johnny, the woman works your nerves, boy

Your pride Johnny, Johnny



Johnny don't like Ruthers, Kate got his morter gun

Boys get the word out, find out where Kate's gone having fun

Kate made the mistake of going to see Jerome

Johnny's boys broke down the door and shot 'em while they were alone



Johnny, Johnny, the woman works your nerves, boy

Your pride Johnny, your pride got disturbed, boy

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny



(Solo)



Oh Kate made the mistake of going to see Jerome

Johnny's boys broke down the door and shot 'em while they were alone



Johnny, Johnny, the woman works your nerves, boy

Your pride Johnny, your pride got disturbed, boy

(repeats out)
