Johnsburg, Illinois Lyrics by Tom Waits
(from the album Swordfishtrombones)
Johnsburg, Illinois Lyrics
She's my only true love
she's all that I think of
look here in my wallet
that's her
She grew up on a farm there
there's a place on my arm
where I've written her name
next to mine
you see I just can't
live without her
and I'm her only boy
and she grew up outside McHenry
in Johnsburg, Illinois
