Spanish Johnny (Album Version) - David Bromberg[00:00:00]
Those other years those dusty years[00:00:26]
When we drove the big hearse through[00:00:30]
I tried to forget the miles we rode[00:00:38]
And Spanish Johnny you [00:00:42]
He'd sit beside a water ditch[00:00:52]
When all his herd was in[00:00:56]
He'd never harm a child[00:01:02]
But sing to his mandolin[00:01:05]
He sang the old songs the old talk[00:01:12]
And the dealin' of our games[00:01:16]
Spanish Johnny seldom spoke[00:01:23]
But sang songs of Spain[00:01:27]
And his talk with men was vicious talk[00:01:33]
When he was drunk on gin[00:01:37]
But those were golden things he said[00:01:43]
To his mandolin[00:01:48]
We had to stand we had to judge[00:02:15]
We had to stop him then[00:02:18]
See those hands so gentle to a child[00:02:24]
Had killed so many men[00:02:29]
He died a hard death long ago[00:02:35]
Before the roads came in[00:02:39]
And the night before he swung[00:02:43]
He sang to his mandolin[00:02:46]
We carried him out in the morning light[00:03:13]
The man who done no good[00:03:17]
Laid him down in a cold cold clay[00:03:21]
Stuck in a cross of wood[00:03:25]
And a letter we wrote to his kinfolks[00:03:32]
To tell'em where he'd been[00:03:36]
We shipped it on down to Mexico[00:03:43]
Along with the mandolin[00:03:47]
