lyrics

Well Jonny was a tall man, six foot six
And he sailed upon the sea
When he came back from his travels afar
He was down at the Triple B
The Triple was a fine place with atmosphere
Good beer, and solid fare
The best part about it was a gal named Janie
And that's why Jonny was there

Janie was a tall girl, fair of skin
Her golden hair fell like rain
And Jonny would turn his ship home early
Just to go see Janie again
She'd bring him a pint every thirteen minutes
Every third one Jonny would pay
Wasn't long before all Jonny wanted
Was to land Janie in the hay

Jonny had a loving wife at home
Who'd wait for him while he sailed
Little did she know that a teenage girl
Would land her Jonny in jail
It was late one night in indian summer
When Jonny walked Janie home
He ended up staying a little too long
Janie didn't wanna be alone Oh, no

Jonny's wife caught him sneaking out Janie's back door
And hit him with a rolling pin
And now they got him locked up in the dungeon
And he won't see Janie again
Oh, cheat, cheat, they caught him off his feet
With a girl less than half his age
Now every third Sunday they wheel him about
In an old fashioned wooden cage

Now when Jonny gets out he's headin afar
To disappear on the sea
And he pities the next fool falling for Janie
Down at the Triple, down at the Triple
Down at the Triple B
