A stranger came to town his eyes were dark and cold
As if to hide something that he did long ago
He took up with a girl who made the evening rounds
Had no friends and wanted none
The people on the street just knew him by name of
Johnny All Alone, Johnny All Alone, Johnny All Alone
Johnny All Alone, Johnny All Alone, Johnny All Alone
Where was Johnny Saturday night?
Ruby met a knife beneath the corner light
All crimson ran the cobble stones
But she wept like an angel 'cause she didn't want to leave her
Johnny All Alone, Johnny All Alone, Johnny All Alone
Johnny All Alone, Johnny All Alone, Johnny All Alone
When Johnny needs some loot
Ruby hits the street
And finds a man who'll pay the price
Of Johnny's love
When Ruby fills her purse
She climbs back up the stairs
It's all for him, it's guaranteed
She gets for Johnny anything that he needs
Johnny All Alone, Johnny All Alone, Johnny All Alone
Johnny All Alone, Johnny All Alone, Johnny All Alone
