Jonny Villain

Thy found Jonny Villain with his neck broke it two
Lying on the street where he got somebody's boot
All because he lied about how he divi'd up the loot
Poor little Jonny Villain

Little Jonny said he never had a chance
That he was robbed purely by circumstance
It was by his birth his sweet mama died
Poor little Jonny Villain

No Jonny said he wasn't a bad man
That he'd been unlucky and that just that
But his ladies they know just what he's at
Wrong-headed, heartless, dangerous, a bad cat

His father was estranged his disappearance feigned
Jonny had to fend for his own longevity
So he robbed those old women just to pay his way
Poor little Jonny Villain

His young lady she went over his balcony
Yeah I heard that Villain was in custody
But he got let off ‘cause they just couldn't pin the blame
Luck of the devil Villain

No Jonny said he wasn't a bad man
That he'd been unfortunate and that just that
But his ladies they know just what he's at
Wrong-headed, heartless, dangerous, a bad cat

That little girl he took a needle to
Little tinker-bell he nearly killed her too
Virgin beauty queen not a day past seventeen
For heaven's sake Jonny Villain

No Jonny he never worked for a nickel or a dime
Run on his own will his rank device
But now he's fallen foul of men that eat young men alive
Poor poor poor villain

Jonny he's still knocking at Heaven's gates
Pleading that he's more than just a sum of his own traits
Begging to re-live his life a different way
Not to be a heartless, dangerous bad cat

They found Villain with his neck broke in two
Lying on the street 'cause he got somebody's boot
Silly little Jonny died for a pocketful of loot
Poor little Jonny Villain
Poor little Jonny Villain
Poor Jonny Villain
Poor Villain
