Spanish Johnny
Recorded by Emmylou Harris with Waylon Jennings
Written by David Bromberg and Paul Siebel

C D
Those other years the dusty years we drove the big herds through
C D
I tried to forget the miles we rode and Spanish Johnny too
C D
He'd sit beside a water ditch when all his herd was in
C G D
And he'd never harm a child but sing to his mandolin

C D
The old talk the old ways and the dealing of our game
C D
Spanish Johnny never spoke but sing a song of Spain
C D
And his talk with men was vicious talk when he was drunk on gin
C G D7
Ah but those were golden things he said to his mandolin

C D
Oh we had to stand we tried to judge we had to stop him then
C D
For the hand so gentle to a child had killed so many men
C D
He died a hard death long ago before the road come in
C G D
And the night before he swung he sung to his mandolin

C D
Well we carried him out in the morning sun a man that done no good
C D
And we lowered him down in the cold clay stuck in across of wood
C D
And the letter we wrote to his kinfolk to tell them where he'd been
C G D
And we shipped it out to Mexico along with his mandolin
