Johnny Fedavo

Down in the little Mexican town of New Wavo

There lived a maiden lovely as a rose

Deep was the love of Lisa, the rose of New Wavo

For Johnny Fedavo and he loved her too

They made a vow that they'd always love each other

For them, on other could be so true

Storm clouds swept in the life of Johnny Fedavo

The promise of Heaven lasted for just a day

God needed someone to brighten his throne

Lisa was taken and Johnny was left all alone

That day in the little Mexican town of New Wavo

Sadly, a village laid their rose away

Johnny came home but no Lisa was there to meet him

No arms to greet him or hold him tight

Johnny prayed alone for God to hear it

To take his spirit away that night

The years passed by and no one saw Johnny Fedavo

The children grew and people were gay once more

One day they found him with hair snowy white

The rose in his hand was his message to Lisa that night

Down in the little Mexican town of New Wavo

Two lovers at last their peace with God have found

Deep was the love of Lisa, the rose of New Wavo

For Johnny Fedavo and he loved her too

There in the chapel shadows they both lay sleeping

Their vows still keeping and both still true
