Help

The lyricist's father was a lawyer who had branched out into real estate.
His second wife, Lillian, was the mother of John H. Mercer.
By the age of six young Johnny indicated that he had the call.
One day he followed the Irish Jasper Greens, the town band, to a picnic and spent the entire day listening, while his family spent the day looking.
The disappearance caused his family to assign a full-time maid to keeping an eye on the boy.
But one afternoon Mrs. Mercer met her ; ;
both were obviously on the way to the Mercer home.
The mother inquired, `` Where's Johnny, and why did you leave him ''??
`` There was nothing else I could do '', the maid answered, satisfied with a rather vague explanation.
But Mrs. Mercer demanded more.
The maid then told her, `` Because he fired me ''.
