Johnny Face Slim

(words & music: M.Filipek copyright 2001)

Hey Johnny where ya goin ?
You gotta gun, is it loaded ?
Somebody’s gonna find you
In red and right behind you

Hey Pal they call him the fake
Bootlegger, he bought the case
Greasin those palms on Sunday
Valentines sent on Monday

[Chorus]

Johnny don’t go out that door
Cause you wont enter in no more
Face has got an urgent date
Machine guns in Violin case

[End Chorus]

Nashville Slim is killin time
Victims sung to victims die
Serenading with a hammer
Mariachi, violent manner

[Chorus]

Slim had chances now there’s none
No more bullets in his gun
Taking bets on long shot day
Someone always has to pay

[End Chorus]

[Bridge]

Gimme the gun
He’s public enemy number one
Valentine..
I’m so glad it wasn’t mine

Hey Johnny… Don’t go out that door !
