Porter Wagoner Jim Johnson Lyrics:
The past ten years just flashed before my eyes I
remember the day my daddy died He left mom four
boys and 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 that's when
our troubles really began Jim Johnson was the name
of our step-pa he was the meanest man I'd ever saw
He mistreated mom and all of us kids and I swore
some day he'd pay each time he did Never had
enough clothes for school but we'd go we'd go home

early because of snow And almost freeze to death
fore we got there Jim bought booze instead of
shoes for us to wear One summer we found six
kittens with our old cat Jim made us put 'em all
in a gunny sack And throw 'em in the river with
rocks inside Jim just stood there and laughed
while we all cried Jim started watchin' Ginny Lou
when she just turned thirteen Then late one night
I heard Ginny scream I run and got the shotgun and
grabbed a shell And I pulled the trigger and Jim
Johnson fell I knew that someday it would come to
this I knew that he'd try to put his hands on sis
When people hear my story they'll understand
They'll know that what I killed was not a man
They'll know Jim Johnson was not a man
