There were guns and drums and drums and guns, haroo, haroo!

There was Kathy there alone, I fear,
C* Em*
When her brother went out to slay ya.
G* D* C* D* Em*
Darlin' dear, you look so queer, for Johnny we hardly knew ya.
Em* G*
On the first of March, he took his gun, haroo, haroo!
Em* G* D*
On the first of March, he tracked ya down, haroo, haroo!
G* D*
He fired the shot, ya bit the dust,

Poor Kathy she cried a victim of lust.

[Verse 1]
Em
Well, hey there Johnny, now how ya been?
D
I seen ya hangin' 'round.
D
You're lookin' mighty pale,
Em
And then your eyes cast on the ground.
Em D
Well, hey there Johnny, how ya been?
C Em
I heard a young man boast.
Em* Em*
He shot ya down one mornin',
C* D* Em
And your now Johnny's ghost.

[Verse 2]
Em
Well, hey there, Johnny, we loved ya, boy,
D
But you've been playin' 'round.
D
You brought the wrath of the husbands,
Em
The wives you spun around.
Em D
Well, hey there, Johnny, you weren't so bad,
C Em
Could make you into two.
Em
To dance a jig with Johnny,
C D Em
That's all they asked of you.

[Chorus]
