Don't Cry Johnny

Don't cry Johnny-

Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up some day you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love forever true
Johnny was a girl who lived next door
I've known her I guess ten years or more
Johnny wrote me a note one day
And this is what she had to say
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up some day you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love forever true
Slowly I read her note once more
And I ran over to her house next door
Her tear-drops fell like rain that day
When I told my Johnny what I had to say
Johnny Johnny please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
You're just fifteen and I'm twenty-two
Johnny I just can't wait for you
Soon I left our little home town
Got me a job and try to settle down
But her words go on in my memory
Those were words that Johnny said to me
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up some day you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love forever true
I packed my clothes and I got a plane
I had to see Johnny, I had to explain
How my heart was filled with her memory
And asked my Johnny if she married me
I ran on the way to her house next door
But things weren't like they were before
My teardrops fell like rain that day
When I heard Johnny said what she had to say
Jimmy Jimmy please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
It's been five years seen you've been gone
Jimmy I married your best friend John.
