Rose Maddox – Johnny's Last Kiss lyrics

(Bobby George - Vern Stovall)

Johnny's last kiss when he sailed away
I remember it well twas just like today
The months were so long but I'd prayed each night
For his great return when things would be right
Johnny's last kiss I remember it well.

--- Instrumental ---

Then his letter came saying goodbye
I read through a mist with tears in my eyes
The plans that we made were sacred to me
All of those plans were never to be
Johnny's last kiss I remember it well.

--- Instrumental ---

I'll try to forget the way that he lied
I'll try to forget the nights that I cried
Johnny's last kiss I remember it well
Oh, Johnny's last kiss I remember it well...
