Gently Johnny Lyrics

Lyric discussion by jingalo 

Cover art for Gently Johnny lyrics by Paul Giovanni

This song discusses the way truth unfolds in the soul - like a boy feeling his way through to his girl - like the bright blood unfolding through the flesh - like a gypsy lad in his role as traveller (a 'jingalo'?) - and she says ' be gentle with me, my beloved, my fair one...' .

This is my favourite song from the film (The Wicker Man 1973)
