He was a lonely boy from nowhere's land
 
 Trying to find a place to lay his head
 
 For he knew for sure that no one cared
 
 So he tried his best now everywhere
 
  
  Go Johnnie go, go Johnnie go, go Johnnie go
 
 Go Johnnie go, go Johnnie go, go Johnnie go, go, go
  
 
 Oh, he was a lonely boy from nowhere's land ...
  
 
 Listen John B. you are so young
 
 There is a place, somewhere over yonder
 
 Where you can go, to see some wonders
 
 Where even birds don't need to fly
  
 
 Keep on walking, come to eleven
 
 Won't be long before you reach your heaven (4 x)
  
 
 Go Johnnie go, go Johnnie go, go Johnnie go
 
 Go Johnnie go, go Johnnie go, go Johnnie go, go, go
  
 
 Oh, he was a lonely boy from nowhere's land ...
  
 
 Listen John B. you are so young ...
  
 
 Keep on walking, come to eleven
 
 Won't be long before you reach your heaven (6 x) ...
