There lived a maiden lovely as a rose

That day in the little Mexican town of New Wavo

Johnny came home but no Lisa was there to meet him

No arms to greet him or hold him tight

Johnny prayed alone for God to hear it

To take his spirit away that night

For Johnny Fedavo and he loved her too
G                     D
There in the chapel shadows they both lay sleeping

Their vows still keeping and both still true
