Johnny-blues cabaret

🎤 “JOHNNY – THE WORKER” 🎤

Johnny left, young and alone,

a dream in his heart, a love to hold on.

“I’ll earn some money, I’ll build us a home,

my Kelly will be mine when I come back home.”

He worked day and night, no rest, no peace,

in a foreign land where struggles don’t cease.

Every single day the same thought stayed,

for the love he had and the promise he made.

And Kelly at home kept waiting in time,

but time can be cruel, it crosses the line.

Letters grew rare, hope started to fade,

slowly their love began to degrade.

Johnny returns, his heart burning inside,

drums in his chest, no place left to hide.

But in front of the church, a sight like a knife –

Kelly is a bride… someone else’s wife.

Time froze completely, silence was loud,

his whole world shattered right there in the crowd.

“I lived for you…” he whispers in pain,

but love he once had will not come again.

Now he walks empty, no purpose, no sound,

just broken memories follow him around.

Johnny the worker, heart made of stone,

a love that was lost… and a life all alone.
