《My Name Is John Johanna》歌词

[00:00:00] My Name Is John Johanna - Kelly Harrell

[00:00:20] My name is John Johanna

[00:00:23] I came from Buffalo town

[00:00:25] For nine long years

[00:00:26] I've traveled this wide wide world around

[00:00:30] Through ups and downs and miseries

[00:00:33] And some good days I saw

[00:00:35] But I never knew what misery was

[00:00:37] 'Til I went to Arkansas

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

[00:00:42] The operator to find

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

[00:00:50] Said Hand me down five dollars

[00:00:52] Lad a ticket you shall draw

[00:00:54] That'll land you safely railway

[00:00:57] In the state of Arkansas

[00:00:59] I rode up to the station

[00:01:01] Then chanced to meet a friend

[00:01:04] Alan Catcher was his name

[00:01:06] 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

[00:01:16] In the state of Arkansas

[00:01:18] I followed my companion

[00:01:20] 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

[00:01:30] His beef I could not chaw

[00:01:32] He charged me fifty cents a day

[00:01:35] In the state of Arkansas

[00:01:56] I got up that next morning

[00:01:58] To catch that early train

[00:02:01] He said Don't be in a hurry lad

[00:02:03] I have some land to drain

[00:02:05] 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

[00:02:12] When you leave old Arkansas

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

[00:02:17] Alan Catcher was his name

[00:02:19] He stood seven feet two inches

[00:02:22] As tall as any crane

[00:02:24] I got so thin on sassafras tea

[00:02:26] I could hide behind a straw

[00:02:29] You bet I was a different lad

[00:02:31] When I left old Arkansas

[00:02:33] Farewell you old swamp rabbits

[00:02:36] Also you dodger pills

[00:02:38] Likewise you walking skeletons

[00:02:40] You old sassafras hills

[00:02:43] If you ever see my face again

[00:02:45] I'll hand you down my paw

[00:02:47] I'll be lookin' through a telescope

[00:02:50] From home to Arkansas
