Bye Bye Johnny

1. She drew out all her money at the Southern Trust

And put her little boy upon a Greyhound bus

Leaving Louisiana for the golden west

Down came the tears from her happiness

Was going to make some motion pictures out in Holliwood

R: Bye bye bye bye, Bye bye bye bye

2. She remembered taking money earnt from gathering crop

And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker's shop

As long as he would play it by the railroad side

He wouldn't get in trouble, he was satisfied

But never thought there'd ever come a day like this

When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss

R: Bye bye bye bye...

3. She finally got the letter she'd been dreaming of

Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love

As soon as he was married he would bring her back

And build a mansion for them by the railroad track

So every time they heard the locomotive roar

They'd be standing and waving in the kitchen door

R: Bye bye bye bye...
