Lyrics Christy Moore

Christy Moore

Johnny Don't Go

Johnny Don't Go

John Spillane

Johnny don't go to Ballincollig

Where you always get so disappointed

Johnny don't go to Carragaline

I'm not coming with you this time

You only go there to get let down

Johnny don't go Johnny don't go

Johnny don't go stay in town

If you go up to Mallow

You better beware of the big Blackwater

If you went as far as Mallow

You might never again come down

Johnny don't go calling that woman

She's the one left you behind

If you go and call that woman

I'm not coming with you this time

Johnny don't go to the banks of the Shannon

Johnny don't go to the banks of the Nile

Johnny don't go to the tower of London

Hang around for another little while

Johnny don't go to the Crystal Palace

Johnny don't go to the hole in the wall

Johnny don't go to the big television

Hey Johnny don't go at all

Where would you be going

Where would you be going

Where would you be going

Where would you be going

Johnny don't go Johnny don't go

Johnny don't go stay in town
