The Johnson Boys

The Johnson Boys - Dusty Springfield

Johnson boys was raised in the ashes

Didn't know how to court a maid

Turn their backs and hide their faces

Sight of a pretty girl makes them afraid

Sight of a pretty girl makes them afraid

Sight of a pretty girl makes them afraid

Sight of a pretty girl makes them afraid

Sight of a pretty girl makes them afraid

Johnson boys they come a courtin'

The Coon Creek girls so pretty and sweet

They couldn't make no conversation

Didn't know where to put their feet

Didn't know where to put their feet

Didn't know where to put their feet

Didn't know where to put their feet

Didn't know where to put their feet

Johnson boys they went a courtin'

Ridin' in a Chevrolet

They come home broke and a walkin'

They had no money for to pay their way

They had no money for to pay their way

They had no money for to pay their way

They had no money for to pay their way

They had no money for to pay their way

Johnson boys eat peas and honey

They have done it all of their life

Make the peas taste mighty funny

But it keeps them on the knife

But it keeps them on the knife

But it keeps them on the knife

But it keeps them on the knife

But it keeps them on the knife

Johnson boys will never get married

They'll live single all of their life

They're too scared to pop the question

There ain't no woman that'll be their wife

There ain't no woman that'll be their wife

There ain't no woman that'll be their wife

There ain't no woman that'll be their wife

There ain't no woman that'll be their wife

Shame shame on the Johnson boys

Shame shame on the Johnson boys
