Once I knew a small boy, name was Little Johnny Brown. B-flat A Well he couldn’t read and he couldn’t sing the things we gave him… Dm Dm C CMaj7 Am All he’d sing were silly tunes as if he hadn’t heard…. F G F G C Just make those silly songs of his with hardly any words. F G C And he’d sing La la la la la la, La la la la la…Jesus… F G C And he’d sing La la la la la la, La la la la la…Master… F G C And he’d sing La la la la la la, La la la la la…Savior… F G C And he’d sing La la la la la la, La la la la la…Lord. C Em All the children laughed at him and how he’d sing his song. B-flat A They made him cry, ‘cause they didn’t try to understand him. Dm Dm7 C CMaj7 Am When no one would listen, he’d sing to the birds… F G F G C To the flowers and the hills, with hardly any words.

And he’d sing La la la la la la, La la la la la…Jesus… And he’d sing La la la la la la, La la la la la…Master… And he’d sing La la la la la la, La la la la la…Savior… And he’d sing La la la la la la, La la la la la…Lord.

Then one night there came a deathly cloud upon the town. The winter wind then covered him with such a fever. God reached down and took the soul of Little Johnny Brown. No more would laughter fill the air at Johnny’s sill sound. (Music only: C, Am, Dm7, G…. C…..) We came to the see the figure, that once was Johnny Brown. Oh, who can understand it when a child is taken? Suddenly the heavens shook, and they we heard the sound… A thousand angel voices…. A thousand angel voices…. A thousand angel voices led by Little Johnny Brown! There were singin’ And he’d sing La la la la la la, La la la la la…Jesus… And he’d sing La la la la la la, La la la la la…Master… And he’d sing La la la la la la, La la la la la…Savior… And he’d sing La la la la la la, La la la la la…Lord. How many times do we tell the Lord we’ve nothing here to give, When all He wants is simple praise and adoration? If we but come before Him just like a little child… A simple song that’s filled with love will make a Father smile. And we can sing.. Oh, we can sing La la la la la la, La la la la la…Jesus… Yes, we can sing La la la la la la, La la la la la…Master… Yes we can sing La la la la la la, La la la la la…Savior… And we can sing La la la la la la, La la la la la…Lord.
