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
