The Johnsons of Turkey Ridge

The Johnsons Of Turkey Ridge - Johnny Paycheck

There's a place I've got to go up in Kentucky

Got to find a place called Johnson's Ridge

Back on one of them hills is a bunch I've sworn to kill

I'm going to go get them Johnson's of Turkey Ridge

Well I never knew my daddy much to speak of

But I've heard tell he was a mighty good man

I remember them dirty Johnson's came and shot him

Then hung him from a tree and burned our land

I'll never forget the look on old man Johnson's face

Held me by the hair and pointed to the ridge

He said tell the sheriff if he wants us come and get us

Sheriff tried and sheriff died on Turkey Ridge

As soon as I can I'm sneaking back in them mountains

Going burn them out by setting fire to the ridge

When they come running for high ground

I'm going to shoot them down

And leave 'em for the buzzards on Turkey Ridge

Like they left my daddy for the buzzards on Turkey Ridge

I'm going to leave 'em for the buzzards on Turkey Ridge
