Verse 1
Bb
Eb
fast as he could ride
When he thought he heard a woman,
Bb
Eb
he heard a woman cry
Johnson getting off his horse,
searching the woods all around
Eb
Bb
Eb
with her hair pinned to the ground.
Woman, dearest woman,
who brought you here for to spend?
It were three bold and struggling men,
With swords keen in hand,
Who that brought me here
this morning,
Bb
Eb
With my hair pinned to the ground.
Well, Johnson, being a man of his own,
Being a man and bold,
Johnson getting on his horse,
The woman getting on behind.
Then they rode down that
lonesome highway,
fast as they could ride
Bb
Eb
When she threw her fingers to her lips
Bb
Eb
and gave three shivering cries
Out sprung three bold and struggling men
With swords keen in hand.
Ooh, that commanded Johnson,
Commanded him to stand.
I'll stop then, said Johnson,
I'll stop then, said he,
Johnson killing two of them,
Not watching the woman behind.
Bb
Eb

While he was at the oth er one,
The day was free and a market day,
The people all passing by,
Eb

And saw poor Johnson die. you
