letra de spanish johnny - waylon jennings
[verse 1]
those other years the dusty years
we drove the big herds through
i tried to forget the miles we rode
and spanish johnny too
he’d sit beside a water ditch
when all his herd was in
and he’d never harm a child
but sing to his mandolin
the old talk, the old ways
and the dealing of our game
spanish johnny never spoke
but sang a song of spain
and his talk with men was vicious
talk when he was drunk on gin
ah, but those were golden things
he said to his mandolin
[instrumental]
[verse 2]
we had to stand, we tried to judge
we had to stop him then
for the hand so gentle to a child
had k!lled so many men
he died a hard death long ago
before the road come in
and the night before he swung
he sung to his mandolin
well, we carried him out in the morning sun
a man that done no good
and we lowered him down in the cold clay
stuck in a cross of wood
and the letter we wrote to his kinfolk
to tell them where he’d been
and we shipped it out to mexico
along with his mandolin…
