I think it was |
|
From there it didn't take him long |
|
And got himself a guitar |
|
He used to play every night |
|
And now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit |
|
And everything's alright |
|
Don't you know? |
|
And Johnny told his mama"Hey, mama, I'm goin' away, yeahI'm gonna hit the big timeGonna be a big star someday" |
|
And mama came to the door |
|
With a teardrop in her eye |
|
And Johnny said, "Don't cry, mamaJust smile and wave goodbye" |

|
Went straight up to number one |
|
And suddenly everyone loved |

To hear him sing his song, yeah |

Surprisin' it goes so fast |

Bottle of whiskey and sleeping tablets by his head |
