I’ll tell you a storyabout Johnny McClory:that’s how my story was begun.I’ll tell you anotherabout Johnny’s brother,and now you may think my story is done...The first time I met JohnnyI could see he was bonny,and when he looked at me how we did glow.But just as we were gazing at each other,Johnny’s brother was down in Mexico.I went to a partywith Johnny my hearty;I never felt to happy and so gay.But just as we were drinking to each other,Johnny’s brother was down in Santa Fe.And down in the gardenmy heart would not harden;how well I can recall those tender scenes.But just as we were kissing one another,Johnny’s brother was down in New Orleans.Letras de cancionesI didn’t want to tarrymy Johnny to marry,and so I got myself a wedding gown.But just as we were wedded to each other,Johnny’s brother came riding into town.The years have been merry,oh, very, very, very.I love my Johnny well and he loves me.But all the while we’re lovin’ up each other,Johnny’s brother holds the baby on his knee.I’ve told you a storyabout Johnny McClory:that’s how my story was begun.I’ve told you anotherabout Johnny’s brother,and now my story is done.
