Lyrics for Johnsburg, Illinois

She's my only true love She's all that I think of Look here In my wallet, that's her She grew up on a farm there There's a place on my arm where I've written Her name next to mine You see, I just can't live without her And I'm her only boy And she grew up outside McHenry In Johnsburg, Illinois
