Verse
D
Those other years, the dusty years
E
When we drove the big herds through
D
I tried to forget the miles we rode
E
And Spanish Johnny too
[Verse 2]
D E
He'd sit beside a water ditch when all his herd was in
D A E
And he'd never harm a child but sing to his mandolin
D
He sang the old songs, the old ways,
E
and the dealins' of our game
D E
Spanish Johnny seldom spoke, but sang songs of Spain
[Verse 3]
D
And his talk with men was vicious talk
E
When he was drunk on gin
D A E
Ah, but those were golden things he said to his mandolin
[GUITAR SOLO]
[vERSE 4]
D
We had to stand, we had to judge,
E
We had to stop him then
D E
For the hand so gentle to a child had killed so many men
[vERSE 5]
D E
He died a hard death long ago before the roads came in
D A E
And the night before he swung he sung to his mandolin
D
Well, we carried him out in the mornin' light
E
a man who done no good
D
And we lowered him down in the cold cold clay
E
Stuck in a cross of wood
D
And a letter he wrote to his kinfolk
E
To tell them where he'd been
D
And we shipped it on down to Mexico,
A E D
Along with his mandolin
