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