I remember this song but it didn't sound like I expected it too. I searched and found this version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o6uxP_2MFY This was closer to what I remember but it still isn't what's in my head from the past. Someone else must have done a version that I can't find.

Johnny is a paisan, born, John Henry Ramistella, whose family moved from New York City to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Influenced by the distinctive Louisiana musical style, Rivers began playing guitar at age eight, taught by his father and uncle. While still in junior high school, he started sitting in with a band called the Rockets, led by Dick Holler, who later wrote several hit songs, including "Abraham, Martin and John" and the novelty song "Snoopy vs. the Red Baron".
