The Johnsons Of Turkey Ridge |
| There’s a place I’ve got to go up in Kentucky\nGot to find a place called Johnson’s Ridge\nBack on one of them hills is a bunch I’ve sworn to kill\nI’m going to go get them Johnson’s of Turkey Ridge\nWell I never knew my daddy much to speak of\nBut I’ve heard tell he was a mighty good man\nI remember them dirty Johnson’s came and shot him\nThen hung him from a tree and burned our land\nI’ll never forget the look on old man Johnson’s face\nHeld me by the hair and pointed to the ridge\nHe said tell the sheriff if he wants us come and get us\nSheriff tried and sheriff died on Turkey Ridge\nAs soon as I can I’m sneaking back in them mountains\nGoing burn them out by setting fire to the ridge\nWhen they come running for high ground\nI’m going to shoot them down\nAnd leave 'em for the buzzards on Turkey Ridge\nLike they left my daddy for the buzzards on Turkey Ridge\nI’m going to leave 'em for the buzzards on Turkey Ridge |
