G Father John was a filthy man but he
Am loved his God Sitting by his window late last
G Am night he sang a song
C G E7 About the ways he put them
Am wicked ones away
G And on the other side of the
Am mountains where they lay
G On the other side of the mountains
Am where they'll stay
G Rumours on the street well, I hear
Am they're coming true
G That filthy man he caught 'em put
Am 'em on a noose
C G 'Cause every word he said the
E7 Am people ate out of his hand
G With just one crying word you could
Am be dead
G With just one crying word you could
Am be dead

Am They caught 'em up near Beckett Brook
G Am When the crew came riding through
Am They rounded up they young boys
G Am Chased 'em through the slough
C G I heard one drowned while the
E7 Am others hung around
G Am Father John caught his prey
G With heavy eyes their mommas they
Am came to weep Looking down at their young boys
G Am Father John did reap
C G Them away from the land and all
E7 Am the families that they had
G And on other side of the mountains
Am where they lay
G On the other side of the mountains
Am where they'll stay
