Poor Johnny

Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake

The bottom of the lake, poor Johnny

Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake

And the boy went fishing and drown-ded

I had a gal I loved the best

(Bottom of the lake, poor Johnny)

Lord knows he could have loved the rest

(And the boy went fishing and drown-ded)

We sing

Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake

The bottom of the lake, poor Johnny

Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake

And the boy went fishing and drown-ded

I had a bottle of ninety-proof

(Bottom of the lake, poor Johnny)

I'd takе one drink, he'd take two

(And the boy went fishing and drown-ded)

We sing

Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake

The bottom of the lake, poor Johnny

Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake

And the boy went fishing and drown-ded

Now, Johnny was using my good cane pole

(Bottom of the lake, poor Johnny)

He got so drunk that he couldn't keep a hold

(And the boy went fishing and drown-ded)

We sing

Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake

The bottom of the lake, poor Johnny

Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake

And the boy went fishing and drown-ded

What happened then I never could tell

(Bottom of the lake, poor Johnny)

He never could handle his liquor well

(And the boy went fishing and drown-ded)

So we sing

Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake

The bottom of the lake, poor Johnny

Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake

And the boy went fishing and drown-ded

We sing

Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake

The bottom of the lake, poor Johnny

Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake

And the boy went fishing and drown-ded
