lirik lagu my name is john johanna – kelly harrell
[verse 1]
my name is john johanna, i came from buffalo town
for nine long years i’ve traveled this wide, wide world around
through ups and downs and miseries, and some good days i saw
but i never knew what misery was ’til i went to arkansas
[verse 2]
i went up to the station, the operator to find
told him my situation and where i wanted to ride
said, “hand me down five dollars, lad, a ticket you shall draw
that’ll land you safe by railway in the state of arkansas”
[verse 3]
i rode up to the station and chanced to meet a friend
alan catcher was his name although they called him cain
his hair hung down in rat tails below his under-jaw
he said he run the best hotel in the state of arkansas
[verse 4]
i followed my companion to his respective place
saw pity and starvation was pictured on his face
his bread was old corn dodgers, his beef i could not chaw
he charged me fifty cents a day in the state of arkansas
[break]
-whistling-
[verse 5]
i got up that next morning to catch that early train
he says, “don’t be in a hurry, lad, i have some land to drain
you’ll get your fifty cents a day and all that you can chaw
you’ll find yourself a different lad when you leave old arkansas”
[verse 6]
i worked six weeks for the son of a gun, alan catcher was his name
he stood seven feet two inches, as tall as any crane
i got so thin on s-ssafras tea, i could hide behind a straw
you bet i was a different lad when i left old arkansas
[verse 7]
farewell, you old swamp rabbits, also you dodger pills
likewise you walking skeletons, you old s-ssafras eels
if you ever see my face again, i’d hand you down my paw
i’d be looking through a telescope from home to arkansas
