Angry Johnny, The Whole Town Knew
The Whole Town Knew ©Angry Johnny
Bonesaw Lullaby BMI
I thought of your pretty face
Right before I cut that bastard’s throat
I thought of your pretty face
I thought about those awful words you wrote
And I thought of your pretty eyes
And those phony crocodile tears they cried
And I thought about your petty lies
And I wondered how the hell I did not know
The whole town knew
They knew about you
The only fool around who did not know
Yes they all knew
You were untrue
When I found out the truth it laid me low
You knew that I could never let you go...
I thought of the things you said
The things that I could not believe I heard
Now in my dreams you’re lying dead
With your lover in that cold October dirt
I still remember now and then
When the wind blows through the late September wheat
You were never seen again
If they only knew what lies beneath their feet
The whole town knew
They knew about you
I was the only fool who did not know
Where did you go
They’ll never know
You’re with the devil now way down below
So rot down there and reap the seeds you sow....
