my eyes I remember the day my daddy died

three- year old Ginny Lou

She got sick and we almost lost her too

Times were rough even when dad was here

but things got worse year after year

Six years ago mom married again and
D

that's when our troubles really began
D

Jim Johnson was the name of our step- pa
A

he was the meanest man I'd ever saw

some day he'd pay each time he did

we'd go home early because of snow

shoes for us to wear
One summer we found six

I run and got the shotgun
And I pulled the trigger

and Jim Johnson fell

I knew that someday it would come to this
his hands on sis
E

When people hear my story
They'll know that what I

killed was not a man
E

They'll know Jim Johnson was not a man
