[00:00:01] My Name Is John Jo Hannah - Kelly Harrell/Earl Scruggs

[00:00:05] Written by：Harrell

[00:00:20] My name is John Johannah I come from buffalo town

[00:00:25] For nine long years I've traveled this wide wide world around

[00:00:30] Through ups and downs and miseries and some good days I've saw

[00:00:35] But I never knew what misery was till I went to Arkansas

[00:00:40] I went up to the station the operator to spy

[00:00:45] Told him my situation and where I wanted to ride

[00:00:50] Said hand me down five dollars lad a ticket you shall draw

[00:00:54] That'll land you safe by railway in the state of Arkansas

[00:00:59] I rode up to the station I chanced to meet a friend

[00:01:04] Alan Catcher was his name although they called him cain

[00:01:09] His hair hung down in rat tails below his under jaw

[00:01:13] He said he run the best hotel in the state of Arkansas

[00:01:18] I followed my companion to his respected place

[00:01:23] Saw pity and starvation was pictured on his face

[00:01:28] His bread was old corn dodgers his beef I could not chaw

[00:01:32] He charged me fifty cents a day in the state of Arkansas

[00:01:56] I got up that next morning to catch that early train

[00:02:01] He says don't be in a hurry lad

[00:02:04] I have some land to drain

[00:02:06] You'll get your fifty cents a day

[00:02:08] And all that you can chaw

[00:02:10] You'll find yourself a different lad when you leave old Arkansas

[00:02:15] I worked six weeks for the son of a gun

[00:02:18] Alan Catcher was his name

[00:02:20] He stood seven feet two inches as tall as any crane

[00:02:25] I got so thin on Sassafras tea

[00:02:27] I could hide behind a straw

[00:02:29] You bet I was a different lad when I left old Arkansas

[00:02:34] Farewell you old swamp rabbits also you dodger pills

[00:02:39] Likewise you walking skeletons you old Sassafras

[00:02:44] If you ever see my face again

[00:02:46] I'll hand you down my paw

[00:02:48] I'll be looking through a telescope from home to Arkansas
