Johnson Love

Verse 1 She had left him lost and broken Like no other had before And now his heart was just a token   Of the pain it had endured And his memories were clouded   With all the hurtful things she’d said Yes fer all intent and purpose    He might just as well been dead Chorus And some people claim they still hear him call her name Hey hey Maureen swear they hear him just that plain Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn See his body died some years ago Around here Mr Johnson’s love lives on Verse 2 He seemed far away and distant   With that cold and silent stare Never moving never speaking    And just barely breathing air No one really knew her reason   And who can judge her right or wrong The only true and solemn fact is The man we’d known was all but gone Chorus>>> Fiddle Solo: Verse 3 Sissy Thompson said she’d seen him     Late that night on Shelby road About a mile from there they found him   It seems he died out in the snow I hear’d the preacher at the service    Say from love he’s finally free But I say love it knows no season     It haunts the soul eternally Chorus>>> Yes his body died some years ago around here Mr. Johnson’s love lives on...
