[Verse 1]
BMy name is wailin' EmJohnny
CWay, Ghey, JDohnny BoGreen
At corAmdova and carrall
Was fFormed in the marrow
Of wEmhiskey and amphetaBmines
BThey call me wailin' JEmohnny
CWay, Ghey, JDohnny BorGeen
A Ammile from the shore
By these hEmeroes of yours
I'll be tAmhere
Hands in the Bair
[Verse 2]
Victory sqBuare in all its glEmory
CWay, Ghey, JDohnny BoGreen
The pAmubs and the junkers
The sFkids and the punkers
Have Emalways been good to Bme
But the cBitizens deplEmore me
CWay, Ghey, JDohnny BorGeen
So crAmuel and fickle
wEmithout a nickel to spAmare
Hands in the Bair
Victory squarBe
[Verse 3]
My brBothers and my sEmisters
CWay, Ghey, JDohnny BoGreen
This wAmorld will defame themF  
And Emcast them straight out to sBea
Say a prBayer for wailin' JEmohnny
CWay, Ghey, JDohnny BorGeen
At cAmambie and hastings
EmI shall be wasting a prAmayer
Hands in the aBir
Victory squarBe
