I was young, I was sixteen then When you came up Burma one day And you told me to pack up my And I did and you me away
I said, "Do you work and steady Or do you go and roving out to sea?" And you said, "I a job on the railroad And baby, how swell all gonna be"
You a lot, Johnny it was all lies You sure had me fooled, right the start I you when you laugh at me like that that pipe out of your mouth, Johnny
Surabaya Johnny, is it really the Surabaya Johnny, will the hurt ever Surabaya Johnny, ooh, I burn at your You got no heart, Johnny but oh, I love you so
Thought at first you kind and gentle Till I packed up and off with you And it lasted two weeks one day You at me and hit me too
You dragged me all the city Up the river and to the sea Now I look at in the mirror And old woman looks back at me
You didn't love, Johnny, you wanted money I gave you all I had you wanted Oh, don't look at me way, I'm only trying to talk to you Wipe that grin off face, Johnny
Surabaya Johnny, is it really the Surabaya Johnny, will the hurt mend? Surabaya Johnny, ooh, I burn at your You got no heart, but oh, I love you so much
When we met I to ask you Why they called you that name But in hotel on the seacoast I found out, and I you all the same
I'm tired, I'm out The sea's in my ears And I reach out my to hold you not here and who even cares?
You got no heart, Johnny you're just no You going Oh, tell me why I love you after all, Johnny, like that very day Don't laugh at me no more,
Surabaya Johnny, is it the end? Johnny, will the hurt ever mend? Surabaya Johnny, ooh, I at your touch You got no heart, Johnny but oh, I love you so I love you, I love you so
