The Tail Of The Crystal Butterfly Lyrics

Johnny went a walking to the fair

Johnny went a walking why?

Johnny went a walking to the fair to win a crystal butterfly

He held that shotgun straight and true and he watched the ducks all die

They gave him a big stuffed panda bear not a crystal butterfly

Johnny went a walking to the mall

Johnny went a walking why?

Johnny went a walking to the mall to buy a crystal butterfly

He pawned his only diamond ring and he sold his suit and tie

Gave up almost everything for the crystal butterfly

He gave it to his own true love a sparkle in her eye

She set it on the dresser top that crystal butterfly

And on a night with fourteen beers her clothes began to fly

Her shoes flew toward the dresser top and the crystal butterfly

And Johnny was a working miles away when his dreams began to die

Inside his heart he felt the crash of the crystal butterfly

It lay in shattered emptiness upon the bedroom floor

The treasured crystal butterfly no butterfly no more

And Johnny went a walking to the fair

Johnny went a walking why?

Johnny went a walking to the fair to win a crystal butterfly

He held that shotgun straight and true and he watched the ducks all die

They gave him a big stuffed panda bear not a crystal butterfly
