Johnnie

Belly up to the bar, boys
Let's have another round
And bid a fond farewell
To our old friend Johnnie Browne
 
Johnnie was a tootin' lad
With a heart o' gold
He'll be missed, you can bet
May God rest his soul
 
We'll leave his mug on the bar
Just in case some day
Johnnie wakes with a mighty thirst
And happens back  this way
