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's how number 13 wound up at 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
Woo!
Grim Reaper, he pulled up into my drive
Grim Reaper pulled his Chevrolet, right up into my drive
Said, "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
Well, 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 down my trash, ransacked my 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
