Current song lyrics
Well they closed down the auto plant in<br />Mahwah late that month<br />Ralph went out lookin' for a Job but he<br />couldn't find none<br />He came home too drunk from mixin'<br />Tanqueray and wine<br />He got a gun shot a night clerk now they<br />call 'm Johnny 99<br />Down in the part of town where when you<br />hit a red light you don't stop<br />Johnny's wavin' his gun around and<br />threatenin' to blow his top<br />When an off duty cop snuck up on him<br />from behind<br />Out in front of the Club Tip Top they<br />slapped the cuffs on Johnny 99<br />Well the city supplied a public defender<br />but the judge was Mean John Brown<br />He came into the courtroom and stared<br />poor Johnny down<br />Well the evidence is clear gonna let the<br />sentence son fit the crime<br />Prison for 98 and a year and we'll call it<br />even Johnny 99<br />A fistfight broke out in the courtroom they<br />had to drag Johnny's girl away<br />His mamma stood up and shouted<br />"judge don't take my boy this way"<br />Well son you got a statement you'd like to<br />make<br />Before the bailiff comes to forever take<br />you away<br />Now judge l got debts no honest man<br />could pay<br />The bank was holdin' my mortgage and<br />they was takin' my house away<br />Now l ain't sayin' that makes me an<br />innocent man<br />But it was more 'n all this that put that gun<br />in my hand<br />Well your honor l do believe l'd be better<br />off dead<br />And if you can take a man's life for the<br />thoughts that's in his head<br />Then won't you sit back in that chair and<br />think it over judge one more time<br />And let 'em shave off my hair and put me<br />on that execution line
