[intro]
one, two, three, pick

[verse 1]
johnson he went riding
as fast as he could ride
when he thought he heard a woman
he heard a woman cry

[verse 2]
so johnson gettin’ off his horse
and lookin’ all around
if he came upon a woman
with her hair pinned to the ground

[verse 3]
a woman, dearest woman
who’s fright is the worst fright
which brought you here this mornin’
with her hair pinned to the ground

[verse 4]
“it were three bold and a-strugglin’ men
with swords out and in hand
where brought me here this mornin’
with my hair pinned to the ground”
[verse 5]
now, johnson bein’ a man of his own
and bein’ a man in gold
he took off his overcoat
to cover her from thе cold

[verse 6]
and johnson gettin’ on his horse
and the woman gеttin’ on behind
down that long and lonesome highway
their fortunes for to find

[instrumental break]

[verse 7]
they rode on and further on
then nothing could espy
when she put her fingers to her ears
and she gave three shivering cries

[verse 8]
out sprang three bold and a-strugglin’ men
with swords out and in hand
who commanded johnson
commanded if he’ll stand
[verse 9]
“i’ll stop them” said johnson
“i’ll spend them” said he
“but i never were in my life
afraid of any three”

[verse 10]
so johnson k!lled him two of them
not watchin’ in the woman behind
while he was upon the other one
she stabbed him from behind

[instrumental break]

[verse 11]
oh, the day was clear and a market day
and the people are passing by
who saw this awful murder
and saw poor johnson die
