lyrics

Some of them have set their minds on staying,
most of them have taken off their hats,
everyone who still has lips keeps praying,
people leave the sinking ship like rats.

Just like Johnny, our dear Johnny, our dearest Johnny Clementine,
our dear Johnny, dear old Johnny, our dearest Johnny Clementine.

Salty waters flood the rooms they lived in,
and the fish make homes for their own kind,
tears keep coming, thoughts and memories drifting,
masters leave their hearts and souls behind.

Just like our Johnny, our dear Johnny, our dearest Johnny Clementine,
our dear Johnny, dear old Johnny, our dearest Johnny Clementine.

He was one of many once, now lonely
Johnny tries to reach the friendly shore,
faith keeps pushing, but the waters only
pull at him, and Johnny is no more.

This was our Johnny, our dear Johnny, our dearest Johnny Clementine,
our dear Johnny, dear old Johnny, there's no more Johnny Clementine.
