I got some news
To give you the blues
Remember Joanna
Who played the piano?

I was her man
I followed her band
We'd meet in the town
By the old water fountain

Alright, she'd say alright
Tonight it was alright
The old town is too small
The school hall is too small
And now to the school hall...

They're bringing Joanna back
Back on the country truck
They're bringing Joanna back
And everyone is wearing black

When she left town
We followed the sound
Joanna would play
On the FM radio
She was a star
A beautiful star
We were so glad
For the life that she had

It was alright, alright
She was alright, alright
Looking for the bright lights
Stars' lights, her lights
She is in the spotlight

They're bringing Joanna back
Back on the country truck
They're bringing Joanna back
And everyone is wearing black

Alright, tonight it was alright
The small town is too small
The school hall is too small
And now to the school hall...

They're bringing Joanna back
Back on the country truck
They're bringing Joanna back
And everyone is wearing black
They're bringing Joanna back
They're bringing Joanna back
Bringing Joanna back
And everyone is wearing black
