Marty Robbins - Johnny Fedavo lyrics

rate me

Down in the little Mexican town of New Wavo<br />

There lived a maiden lovely as a rose<br />

Deep was the love of Lisa, the rose of New Wavo<br />

For Johnny Fedavo and he loved her too<br />

They made a vow that they'd always love each other<br />

For them, on other could be so true<br />

<br />

Storm clouds swept in the life of Johnny Fedavo<br />

The promise of Heaven lasted for just a day<br />

God needed someone to brighten his throne<br />

Lisa was taken and Johnny was left all alone<br />

<br />

That day in the little Mexican town of New Wavo<br />

Sadly, a village laid their rose away<br />

Johnny came home but no Lisa was there to meet him<br />

No arms to greet him or hold him tight<br />

Johnny prayed alone for God to hear it<br />

To take his spirit away that night<br />

<br />

The years passed by and no one saw Johnny Fedavo<br />

The children grew and people were gay once more<br />

One day they found him with hair snowy white<br />

The rose in his hand was his message to Lisa that night<br />

<br />

Down in the little Mexican town of New Wavo<br />

Two lovers at last their peace with God have found<br />

Deep was the love of Lisa, the rose of New Wavo<br />

For Johnny Fedavo and he loved her too<br />

There in the chapel shadows they both lay sleeping<br />

Their vows still keeping and both still true
