Johnny O Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Way down in the delta 

Where the days move slow 

There's a squeeze box player 

Name a Little Johnny O 

He's got a four piece band 

And they're playin' real tight 

Make the people go crazy 

Every Saturday night 

Singing, Hey Johnny O 

Let's Fied-I-Ay 

On the ol' bayou 

Hey Johnny O 

Well play the Tennessee Waltz 

And the Zydeco

They like their Chuck Berry records 

And some Fats Domino 

But the thing they like the most 

Is hearin' Little Johnny O 

Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh 

Little Johnny O 

Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh 

That's right Johnny 

Well the Natches girls 

They like to stroll around town 

When Johnny starts a playin' 

You see 'em come unwound 

Well the boys in the corner 

All loosin' their minds 

Gonna make their move 

When Johnny gives the sigh

Singing, Hey Johnny O 

Let's Fied-I-Ay 

On the ol' bayou 

Hey Johnny O 

Play the Tennessee Waltz 

And the Zydeco 

They like their old country records 

They're the mill for the soul 

But the thing they like the most 

Is hearin' Little Johnny O 

Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh 

Little Johnny O 

Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh 

Play it, Hey Johnny 

That's the ticket 

(Let's get down girl) 

Way down in the delta 

Where the big blue flows 

There's a one little secret 

That everybody knows 

If you just can't sleep 

And you're feelin' down 

There's an all-night cure 

Outside of town 

And it's Hey Johnny O 

Let's Fied-I-Ay 

On the ol' bayou 

Hey Johhny O 

Play the Tennessee Waltz 

And the Zydeco 

They like all those songs 

On the radio 

But the thing they like the most 

Is hearin' Little Johnny O 

Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh 

Little Johnny O 

Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh 

Little Johnny O 

Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh 

Little Johnny O 

Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh hey 

Hey Johnny 

What is Fiedle-I-Oh?
