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