Johnny Put Down Your Gun |
| Chorus: |
| Johnny put down your gun oh Johnny |
| Johnny put down your gun ole son |
| Grab a girl and get yerself a-married |
| Cuz life ain’t worth living on the run |
| Johnny was born in old Kentucky |
| High in the hills of northern Boone |
| Folks been saying since he’s a baby |
| Johnny was born to break the rules |
| Chorus: |
| Johnny was raised by the barrel |
| But shooting bottles and cans just wouldn’t do |
| He took his first bank at age eleven |
| The Pennsylvania Trust at twenty-two |
| Chorus: |
| It was a cold November down in Preston |
| And things went quiet on the plains |
| When Johnny walked into the barroom |
| He met a little girl of his dreams |
| Chorus: |
| But you know that Johnny would never settle |
| He high tailed it out by the first of spring |
| He hooked up a 42o out of Boise |
| But the sheriff took him down near Aberdeen |
