There is little to say...if you know you know, if you don't...well......curiosity is good for a healthy brain.

lyrics

The Ballad of Johnny Jones (an unlikely lay)

Oh Johnny Jones,the cat who walks alone
Where shall he lie; where shall he roam?
In a gutter ditch or bar, anywhere but home,
For it's beer he's been a'tastin'

For it's beer he's been a'tastin' lads
It's beer he's been a' tastin'
Bottle and cask his bed and pillow be
For it's beer he's been a'tastin'.

Oh Johnny Jones, to the magic of the willow,
In the morning goes to ease away the pain'o,
Can he sing another song, NO-Johnny doesn't think so
For it's beer he's been a'tastin'

Chorus

Oh Johnny Jones, when his song is sung,
To hop and grain he goes, to keep a bloody hold on.
Then he shall sing, in a softer tone,
For it's beer he's been a'tastin'

Chorus

There behind a wicked gleam'
In his eye, it can be seen,
We shall not know where he has been,
For it's beer he's been a'tastin'

Chorus
