00:00I had just turned 16 that season

00:25When you came up from Bournemouth to stay

00:29Yeah, and you told me that I ought to travel with you

00:33Yeah, you're absolutely sure that it would be okay

00:38And when I asked you how you earned your living

00:42I can still hear what you said to me

00:45Yeah, you said you had a kind of job with the railway

00:50And absolutely nothing to do with the sea

00:55You said a lot, Johnny, all one big lie, Johnny

00:59You cheated me blind, Johnny, from the minute we met

01:02I hate you so, Johnny, when you stand there grinning, Johnny

01:07Take that pipe out of your mouth

01:10Rat

01:16Zoraba Johnny

01:22No one's meaner than you

01:27Zoraba Johnny

01:31My God

01:33And I still love you

01:36Zoraba Johnny

01:41Ah, I yearn for your touch

01:45You have no heart, Johnny

01:49And I still love you so much

01:53At the start, every day was Sunday

02:03Till we went on our way one fine night

02:07Then before two more weeks were over

02:10Yeah, you said nothing, but I did was right

02:14And so we track up and down

02:17Durch den Bantra

02:18Den Fluss entlang bis zu seh

02:22And when I look at my face in the mirror

02:25There's an old woman staring back at me

02:32You didn't want love, Johnny

02:34You wanted cash, Johnny

02:35Ich aber sah, Johnny, nur auf deinen Mund

02:38Du belangtest alles, Johnny

02:40Ich glaub' dir mehr, Johnny

02:42Nimm doch die Pfeife aus der Maul

03:21Johnny

03:22I yearn for your touch

03:27You have

03:28No heart, Johnny

03:30And I still love you

03:33I would never have thought of asking

03:50Where you got that peculiar name

03:54But from one end of the coast to the other

03:57Yeah, you're known everywhere we came

04:01And one day in a two-bit flop house

04:05I'm gonna wake up to the roar of the sea

04:08And you're gonna leave without one word of warning

04:11On some ship waiting down at the key

04:15You have no heart, Johnny

04:18Do piston shock, Johnny

04:20How can you go, Johnny, and leave me flat?

04:24You're still my love, Johnny

04:26Like the day we met, Johnny

04:30Your pipe

04:33Just leave me with that
