Richard Thompson Sweet Warrior Johnny's Far Away Johnny's joined a ceilidh band They're known quite well throughout the land: The Drones The Drones have signed upon a cruise And Tracy's laying in the booze back home She's got herself another man, a smoothy While the kids are in the front room watching movies She's got him in a headlock, in an armlock, in a jam She says I can't express myself with my old man While Johnny's far away on the rolling, rolling Johnny's far away on the rolling sea Johnny's far away on the rolling, rolling Johnny's far away on the rolling sea On the rolling sea On the rolling sea Johnny's cruising out to sea And he believes in chastity, for some The wealthy widows bill and coo He fends off one or two and then succumbs Well they're hard in pirate ports in the Bahamas He's turning her right out of her pyjamas He's turned her every which way, to the rhythm of the sea He says I can't express myself with my old lady While Johnny's far away on the rolling, rolling Johnny's far away on the rolling sea Johnny's far away on the rolling, rolling Johnny's far away on the rolling sea On the rolling sea On the rolling sea Johnny's home he opens up the door While someone's sneaking out the back And Tracy says you look so poorly, Sores and all, you ought to see the quack She wipes the kip from off the kiddies' noses And he charms her with eleven battered roses And by and by they get down to the job of man and wife Back to the old comforts of the missionary life While Johnny's far away on the rolling, rolling Johnny's far away on the rolling sea Johnny's far away on the rolling, rolling Johnny's far away on the rolling sea On the rolling sea On the rolling sea On the rolling sea On the rolling sea |
