My Name Is John Johanna - Preston Young[00:00:00]

My name is John Johanna [00:00:20]

I came from Buffalo town [00:00:23]

For nine long years[00:00:25]

I've traveled this wide wide world around [00:00:26]

Through ups and downs and miseries[00:00:30]

And some good days I saw [00:00:33]

But I never knew what misery was[00:00:35]

'Til I went to Arkansas [00:00:37]

I went up to the station[00:00:40]

The operator to find [00:00:42]

Told him my situation and where I wanted to ride [00:00:45]

Said Hand me down five dollars [00:00:49]

Lad a ticket you shall draw [00:00:51]

That'll land you safely railway[00:00:54]

In the state of Arkansas [00:00:57]

I rode up to the station[00:00:59]

Then chanced to meet a friend [00:01:01]

Alan Catcher was his name [00:01:04]

Although they called him Cain [00:01:06]

His hair hung down in rat tails below his under jaw [00:01:09]

He said he run the best hotel[00:01:13]

In the state of Arkansas [00:01:15]

I followed my companion[00:01:18]

To his respected place [00:01:20]

Saw pity and starvation was pictured on his face [00:01:23]

His bread was old corn dodgers [00:01:27]

His beef I could not chaw [00:01:30]

He charged me fifty cents a day[00:01:32]

In the state of Arkansas [00:01:35]

I got up that next morning[00:01:56]

To catch that early train [00:01:58]

He said Don't be in a hurry lad [00:02:01]

I have some land to drain [00:02:03]

You'll get your fifty cents a day[00:02:05]

And all that you can chaw [00:02:08]

You'll find yourself a different lad[00:02:10]

When you leave old Arkansas [00:02:12]

I worked six weeks for the son of a gun [00:02:14]

Alan Catcher was his name [00:02:17]

He stood seven feet two inches [00:02:19]

As tall as any crane [00:02:21]

I got so thin on sassafras tea[00:02:24]

I could hide behind a straw [00:02:26]

You bet I was a different lad[00:02:29]

When I left old Arkansas [00:02:31]

Farewell you old swamp rabbits [00:02:33]

Also you dodger pills [00:02:36]

Likewise you walking skeletons [00:02:38]

You old sassafras hills [00:02:40]

If you ever see my face again[00:02:43]

I'll hand you down my paw [00:02:45]

I'll be lookin' through a telescope[00:02:47]

From home to Arkansas[00:02:50]
