Spanish Johnny - Emmylou Harris[00:00:00]
Those other years the dusty years[00:00:06]
We drove the big hers through[00:00:10]
I tried to forget the miles we rode[00:00:15]
And Spanish Johnny too[00:00:19]
He'd sit beside a water ditch[00:00:24]
When all this herd was in[00:00:28]
And he'd never harm a child[00:00:33]
But sing to his mandolin[00:00:35]
The old talk the old ways [00:00:42]
And the dealin' of our game[00:00:45]
But Spanish Johnny never spoke [00:00:51]
Sing a song of Spain[00:00:54]
And his talk with men was vicious talk[00:00:59]
When he was drunk on gin[00:01:03]
Ah but those were golden things[00:01:08]
He said to his mandolin[00:01:11]
We had to stand we tried to judge [00:01:55]
We had to stop him then[00:01:59]
For the hand so gentle to a child[00:02:04]
Had killed so many men[00:02:07]
He died a hard death long ago[00:02:12]
Before the road come in[00:02:16]
And the night before he swung[00:02:21]
He sung to his mandolin[00:02:24]
Well we carried him out in the mornin' sun[00:02:30]
A man that done no good[00:02:34]
And we lowered him down in the cold clay[00:02:39]
Stuck in a cross of wood[00:02:42]
And a letter we wrote to his kinfolk[00:02:47]
To tell them where he'd been[00:02:51]
And we shipped it out to Mexico [00:02:56]
Along with his mandolin[00:03:00]
