Johnny got up one mornin' he went down to the
company store Got him a big box of bullets to fit
into his 44 The storeman said son are you gonna
work you know you owe me too much to stop John
said I got a little working to do but I ain't
goin' by your clock People said John was a slacker
cause he wouldn't fight in their war A man wasn't
much if he wouldn't fight back in nineteen forty
and four The doctor said John was just too sick to
go But the people said that he was a coward And
one of the men makin' fun of him was a feller
named a Milton Howard Milton was down at the Cold
Spring a drinkin' from a Mason jar He said John
you better get yourself to work you gonna fool
around till you get fired John blew the dust from
his old 44 put two holes in Milton's head When
Johnny walked off to get some more shootin' done
That old Cold Spring was a runnin' with red Next
guy he met was a Steagall boy and the boy had a
hammer in his hand John said son you should've
built yourself a box Cause you're aheaded for the
Promised Land Steagall fell down to his knees to
pray and he cried Lord Johnny please don't shoot
Before he got half way to sayin' amen well old
John shot him out of his boots [dobro]
Word went out thru the County that old John had
lost his head The people were running and
screaming there were seven of 'em layin' there
dead Johnny hid out in a farmhouse he had
satisfaction in his eyes He said I know they're
coming to get me boys but they ain't a gonna take
me alive People gathered round that old farmhouse
was the relatives of all them dead Now John said
if the sheriff comes thru that door I'm gonna fill
him plum full of lead The sheriff kicked down that
old farmhouse door but old John's gun would not
shoot Johnny just smiled at the sheriff and said
the Lord must think a lot of you They took old
John to the jailhouse he entered in a guilty plea
The judge said death in the electric chair cause
it's murder in the first degree John's last meal
was a lot of fried chicken cold beans and a baby
squash He ate every bite that they brought him
then he smiled and said I thank you all a lot [
dobro]
They put old John in the electric chair they
shaved his ankles and his head The preacher said
son you got something to say in a minute you're a
gonna be dead John said I ain't no coward and the
people know that I won't run Then Johnny smiled up
at the warden and said turn it on turn it on turn
it on
