Johnny Fedavo Lyrics - Marty Robbins

Down in the little Mexican town of New Wavo 

There lived a maiden lovely as a rose 

Deep was the love of Lisa, the rose of New Wavo 

For Johnny Fedavo and he loved her too 

They made a vow that they'd always love each other 

For them, on other could be so true 

Storm clouds swept in the life of Johnny Fedavo 

The promise of Heaven lasted for just a day 

God needed someone to brighten his throne 

Lisa was taken and Johnny was left all alone 

That day in the little Mexican town of New Wavo 

Sadly, a village laid their rose away 

Johnny came home but no Lisa was there to meet him 

No arms to greet him or hold him tight 

Johnny prayed alone for God to hear it 

To take his spirit away that night 

The years passed by and no one saw Johnny Fedavo 

The children grew and people were gay once more 

One day they found him with hair snowy white 

The rose in his hand was his message to Lisa that night
