Johnny Boy, everyone
Thinks that you're the Devil's son
I saw you in my dreams
Saw that you'd be good to me
Let my hair come undone
Now I know that you're the one
You can have me for free
My love for you has no fee

Can you hear them beg me
Hear them beg me

Oh, Johnny Boy

Johnny Boy, sad and blue
Everyone is a bird to you but
Don't you mind what they sing
Don't be upset when they all take wing
Far too high, they can't see
What a big bad world lies underneath
I'm with you below the trees
My love gentle as the breeze

Can you hear them beg me
Hear them beg me

Oh, Johnny Boy

Johnny Boy, everyone
Thinks that you're the Devil's son
Johnny Boy, everyone
Thinks that you're the Devil

Oh, Johnny Boy
