Johnny Put Down Your Gun
Cornmeal

Chorus:

Johnny put down your gun oh Johnny

Johnny put down your gun ole son

Grab a girl and get yerself a-married

Cuz life ain’t worth living on the run


Johnny was born in old Kentucky

High in the hills of northern Boone

Folks been saying since he’s a baby

Johnny was born to break the rules



Chorus:


Johnny was raised by the barrel

But shooting bottles and cans just wouldn’t do

He took his first bank at age eleven

The Pennsylvania Trust at twenty-two



Chorus:


It was a cold November down in Preston

And things went quiet on the plains

When Johnny walked into the barroom

He met a little girl of his dreams


Chorus:


But you know that Johnny would never settle

He high tailed it out by the first of spring

He hooked up a 42o out of Boise

But the sheriff took him down near Aberdeen
