Johnny Boy Lyrics
When I hear that wind blow,
all across the Wicklow mountains.
Is it you, I hear a calling.
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.
When I look to the west,
all across the River Shannon.
I can still see you smiling.
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.
When the leaves have turned to brown
and winter's due.
As I watch the sun goes down,
I'll think of you.
When I hear that wind blow,
all across the Wicklow mountains.
Sure it's you, I'll hear a calling.
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.
all across the Wicklow mountains.
Is it you, I hear a calling.
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.
all across the River Shannon.
I can still see you smiling.
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.
and winter's due.
As I watch the sun goes down,
I'll think of you.
all across the Wicklow mountains.
Sure it's you, I'll hear a calling.
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.

It's about Phil Lynott, Gary's long term friend from Thin Lizzy. The album was dedicated to him and "Johnny" was an alias Phil used in some of his songs
