Am C G Johnny was working hard justAm like his fatherF G Cutting lumber at the sawill allAm day throughG C In the evening hanging out at theF dinerG Waching Betty working, and her eyesAm so blueAm C G Betty was the girl he'd alwaysAm wantedF G But she was married to a man doingAm timeG C He was violent and mean, Boddy wasF his nameContinues after the adG She knew when he got out, he'd doAm another crimeAm C He got out on parole, and heardG Am she was untreF So he beat her up real bad, andG Am drove awayG She explained how she had fallenC F down the stairs againG But Johnny knew the truth, andAm swore he'd make him payAm C He put the hammer down, andG Am thundered down the roadF G Am He drove all night from town to townG C But Boddy knew he'd come, so heF waitedG And at the break of dawn he shotAm poor Johnny downAm C G He set fire to the body andAm headed homeF G Betty was closing up the dinerAm when he cameG She bolted the door but he broughtC F gasolineG And through the flames she calledAm out Johnny's name
