Jonathan Byrd - Poor Johnny

{Chorus (Jonathan Byrd)}
Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake
Bottom of the lake, poor Johnny
Poo-oor Johnny at the bottom of the lake
The boy went fishin' and drown-ded

{Verse 1}
I had a girl I loved the best
Bottom of the lake, poor Johnny
Lord knows Johnny could have loved the rest
But the boy went fishin' and drown-ded
I said

{Chorus All}
Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake
Bottom of the lake, poor Johnny
Poo-oor Johnny at the bottom of the lake
The boy went fishin' and drown-ded

{Verse 2}
I had a bottle of ninety-proof
Bottom of the lake, poor Johnny
I'd take one drink, he'd take two
And thе boy went fishin' and drown-ded
I said

{Chorus}
Poor Johnny at the bottom of thе lake
Bottom of the lake, poor Johnny
Poo-oor Johnny at the bottom of the lake
The boy went fishin' and drown-ded

{Verse 3}
Johnny was usin' my good cane pole
Bottom of the lake, poor Johnny
Got so drunk that he couldn't keep a hold
And the boy went fishin' and drown-ded
I said

{Chorus}
Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake
Bottom of the lake, poor Johnny
Poo-oor Johnny at the bottom of the lake
The boy went fishin' and drowned
I said

{Chorus}
Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake
Bottom of the lake, poor Johnny
Poo-oor Johnny at the bottom of the lake
The boy went fishin' and drown-ded

{Verse 4}
Then what happened I never could tell
Bottom of the lake, poor Johnny
He never could handle his liquor well
And the boy went fishin' and drown-ded
I said

{Chorus}
Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake
Bottom of the lake, poor Johnny
Poo-oor Johnny at the bottom of the lake
The boy went fishin' and drowned
I said

{Chorus}
Poor Johnny at the bottom of the lake
Bottom of the lake, poor Johnny
Poo-oor Johnny at the bottom of the lake
The boy went fishin' and drown-ded
