Johnson's Love

She had left him lost and broken Like no other had before Now his heart was just a token Of all the pain it had endured And his memories were clouded With all the hurtful things she'd said Yes for all intent and purpose He might just as well been dead And some people claim they still hear him call her name Hey hey Maureen Swear they hear it just that plain Deep in the night or sometimes right at dawn See his body died some years ago But around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on He seemed far away and distant With that cold and silent stare Never moving, never speaking And just barely breathing air No one really knew her reason And who can judge her right or wrong The only true and solemn fact is The man we'd known was all but gone Some people claim they still hear him call her name Hey hey Maureen Swear they hear it just that plain Deep in the night or sometimes right at dawn See his body died some years ago But around here Mr. Johnson's Love lives on Sissy Thompson said she'd seen him Late that night on Shelby Road About a mile from there they found him Seems he died out in the snow I hear'd the preacher at the service Say from love he's finally free But I say love it knows no season It haunts the soul eternally Some people claim they still hear him call her name Hey hey Maureen Swear they hear it just that plain Deep in the night or sometimes right at dawn See his body died some years ago But around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on Yes his body died some years ago But around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on
