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