east side story - st. louis union lyrics
[verse 1]
beneath the bare light up above
he gazed into the eyes of love
bathed in the dirty neon light
she begged him, “don’t go out tonight
if we work out somehow, maybe
we can find a way out, baby”
but he laughed and said, “i’ve got to go”
and she cried, “no
johnny, johnny, no
johnny, johnny, no”
[verse 2]
his arms were warm and strong and young
he promised, “i won’t hurt no one
oh baby, when you gonna learn
those folks uptown got bread to burn?
when they see me flash my knife
they’ll be fearin’ for thеir lives
they won’t give mе trouble, this i know”
and she cried, “no
johnny, johnny, no
johnny, johnny, no”
[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
the night passed like a thousand years
the tenement room had cooled her tears
then came a knock upon the door
two men she’d never seen before
“did you know johnny brown, miss?
we hate to tell you this but
has he a relative you know?”
and she cried, “no
ah, johnny, no
johnny, johnny, johnny, no
johnny, johnny, no
johnny, johnny, no
johnny, johnny, no”
