Sentimental Johnny - Flogging Molly

I’m going back to sentimental Johnny

'Cause sentimental Johnny is your man

Sunshine or rain, the man’s on his game

The chairman of the boards

He said Jesus, he walks on water

Not like us, he must have been sober

Marching away, on top of his lake

The savior of all souls

Leave me to die in the wreckage

As soon as it burns I’ll be gone

I’m going back to sentimental Johnny

What for?

To take in all I can

What for?

To take in all I can

Once more!

Well, it was back in good old '57

When Johnny met Elvis in Memphis

Rocking on Sun, where it all begun

A story yet to end

And by this time we’re drinking up a fever

And in me he has a true believer

If only I could, just for one word

To live it all again

Leave me to die in the wreckage

As soon as it burns I’ll be gone

I’m going back to sentimental Johnny

What for?

To take in all I can

What for?

To take in all I can

Rio, why don’t you meet me down in Rio again?

Down in Rio, the carnival it never ends

Down in Rio, we’ll find a perfect world in Rio again

Down in Rio, where the women still love their men

Well, Johnny, it’s two in the morning

Don’t you think it’s time we should go?

Back to our millions of records we love

Back to our sad little homes

That was the last that I saw him

Never, no never, no more

I wonder, did Jesus come to redeem him?

Save poor Johnny’s old soul

I wonder, did Jesus come to redeem him?

Save poor Johnny’s old soul

Leave me to die in the wreckage

As soon as it burns I’ll be gone

I’m going back to sentimental Johnny

What for?

To take in all I can

What for?

To take in all I can

Once more, to take in all I can

Once more!
