The Letter (That Johnny Walker Read) - Asleep At The Wheel

Johnny Walker sat at a table in a bar

Minding his own affairs

Drinking his namesake's gold on the rocks

He getting drunk too

Drunk to care

When a girl in the bar walked up

His side and this is what she

Said

She said: "A woman came by and

Left a letter for you " this is

What the letter said

Dear John please Johnny please come home

I need your love and the kids they gotta be fed

And John if you don't hurry back I'll be gone

Yes that's what the letter said

Then John he got up from the table

Slowly some slowly he walked outside

You know

He was thinking of his wife

And 25 jaker liitle back home

And how his drinking had ruined their lives

Then John he staggered off into the streetlight

And a vision filled his poor poor heart with dread

It see For it was him lying drunk there in the gutter

Clutching in his hand the letter

That Johnny Walker read

And this is what it said

I need your love and the kids they gotta be fed

And John if you don't hurry back I'll be gone

Yes that's what the letter said
