Johnson's Promenade

Hit the road at half past seven

Northern skies looked like rain

And knew as I drove past your door

I'd never see this town again

Jump up, boys, and grab your girl

Promenade around the world

Hop high, ladies, find your man

Swing him ‘round as best you can

Have you seen my black-eyed Susie?

She left here with Liza Jane.

And if you speak to handsome Molly,

Tell her to come back home again

Every time I pass your door,

I wish that it would open wide.

Every time I pass your door

I know there's someone else inside

When you say you won't be staying.

Are you really all that sad?

When I heard what you were saying

I knew the past was all we had.

Have you seen my black-eyed Susie?

Have you seen my Liza Jane?

Have you seen my handsome Molly?

Have you seen my Colerain?

Lined up for the final dance

The autumn sky was filled with tears

Trying to find another chance

To reinforce our stupid fears

Have you seen my Darling Cory?

Have you seen by Nellie Gray?

Have you seen my Barbara Ellen?

Have you seen Sarah McCray?
