Double Johnnys to Dirty Reverse Northside Bernie

Well, lucky number seven passed me by
Lucky number seven called my name and passed on by
Well he came back don’t you know
With his brother six in tow
And that is how number thirteen wound up at my side

And that is how I got these lonesome Johnny blues
How I got these lonesome Johnny blues
Got the lonesome Johnny blues
And there’s nothing I can do
‘Cept sing these sad old weary lonesome Johnny blues

– Cracker, ‘Lonesome Johnny Blues
