... I remember a girl called Johnny... black as hell and white as a ghost
... Don t talk about life or death she said "I ve had enough of both"
... A girl called Johnny who - was - not - scared
... They d have torn her to pieces but who would dare?
Sax solo
x2
... I remember a girl called Johnny... the train came to town, boy she got on it
Without looking back, without a word she said goodbye, well I never heard
but the noise goes on, the noise, the jazz
And the truth is in somebody else s hands
And the house that a girl called johnny built is now-just-ash-es and sand
Ashes and sand, ashes and sand
