My Name Is John Jo Hannah - Kelly Harrell[00:00:00]

Written by：Harrell[00:00:10]

My name is John Johannah I come from buffalo town[00:00:20]

For nine long years I've traveled this wide wide world around[00:00:25]

Through ups and downs and miseries and some good days I've saw[00:00:30]

But I never knew what misery was till I went to Arkansas[00:00:35]

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

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

Said hand me down five dollars lad a ticket you shall draw[00:00:50]

That'll land you safe by railway in the state of Arkansas[00:00:54]

I rode up to the station I chanced to meet a friend[00:00:59]

Alan Catcher was his name although they called him cain[00:01:04]

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

He said he run the best hotel in the state of Arkansas[00:01:13]

I followed my companion to his respected place[00:01:18]

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

His bread was old corn dodgers his beef I could not chaw[00:01:28]

He charged me fifty cents a day in the state of Arkansas[00:01:33]

I got up that next morning to catch that early train[00:01:56]

He says don't be in a hurry lad[00:02:01]

I have some land to drain[00:02:04]

You'll get your fifty cents a day[00:02:06]

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

You'll find yourself a different lad when you leave old Arkansas[00:02:10]

I worked six weeks for the son of a gun[00:02:15]

Alan Catcher was his name[00:02:18]

He stood seven feet two inches as tall as any crane[00:02:20]

I got so thin on Sassafras tea[00:02:25]

I could hide behind a straw[00:02:27]

You bet I was a different lad when I left old Arkansas[00:02:29]

Farewell you old swamp rabbits also you dodger pills[00:02:34]

Likewise you walking skeletons you old Sassafras[00:02:39]

If you ever see my face again[00:02:44]

I'll hand you down my paw[00:02:46]

I'll be looking through a telescope from home to Arkansas[00:02:48]
