The Ballad of Johnny Blood

Johnny Blood, Johnny Blood A boy condemned to die Johnny Blood, Johnny Blood Soon they'll hang him high Can anybody save him? Can anybody try? Johnny Blood, prepare yourself Your doom is nigh I didn't mean to kill Big Swede But I was blind by drink The whole thing happened in a blur I had no time to think Bella, she was with me And oh, I loved her so And that, my boys, was my mistake That woman brought me low Johnny Blood, Johnny Blood A woman brought him low She put her arms around me She set my heart aglow She whispered secrets in my ear That's how she brought me low Then Big Swede, he grabbed her up I told him, "Let her be!" I knocked him down and next I knew His gun was aimed at me Several shots were fired Who shot first, I don't know There's just one thing I'm sure of, boys: A woman brought me low Can anybody save him? Will anybody try? Johnny Blood, prepare yourself Your doom is nigh (Johnny Blood, Johnny Blood A boy condemned to die Johnny boy, Johnny boy Soon they'll hang him high) Who will save me? Johnny Blood, prepare yourself Your doom is nigh
