Well,
I've never seen
the likes of Sophie Bonner
Not the soft farmer with
his smooth song
Johnny come down a hollow poor old man

And I wake her, and I shake her,
Johnny come down to Harlow,
poor old man
Well, my wife died in Tennessee
and bailed her jawbone back to Maine
Johnny come down to Harlow,

Well, I hung that jawbone on the fence
and I ain't heard nothing from
the jawbone since

Well I had a little girl,
hair was red,

She always fell asleep before I came
Johnny come down to Harlow,
poor old man
