I hear there's a guy lookin' for me
And he's been foolin' with my baby
His name they say, is Johnny Brown
He says, he'll run me out of town
Johnny Brown, Johnny Brown
You and I are gonna have a showdown

Now I got a message for Johnny Brown
You better tell him to stop messin' around
'Cause if we ever tangle, and I mean what I say
There's only one of us who's gonna walk away

I hear he's the kind of guy
Who's made a lot of girls cry
He'd better leave my girl alone
And find a chicken of his own
Johnny Brown, Johnny Brown
You and I are gonna have a showdown

Now I got a message for Johnny Brown
You better tell him to stop messin' around
'Cause if we ever tangle, and I mean what I say
There's only one of us who's gonna walk away

My girl and I was doing fine
Until he tried to beat my time
He's tryin' to take my chick away
He'd better listen when I say
Johnny Brown, Johnny Brown
You and I are gonna have a showdown

Now I got a message for Johnny Brown
You better tell him to stop messin' around
'Cause if we ever tangle, and I mean what I say
There's only one of us who's gonna walk away

'Cause if we ever tangle, and I mean what I say
There's only one of us who's gonna walk away
I said, there's only one of us who's gonna walk away
I said, there's only one of us who's gonna walk away
