The Legend of the Johnson Boys
Flatt & Scruggs

Have you heard the many a story

Told by old and young with joy

'Bout the many deeds of daring

That was done by the Johnson boys

That was done by the Johnson boys

That was done by the Johnson boys

That was done by the Johnson boys


The Johnson boys were boys of honor

They knew how the fortune made

They knew how to hug and kiss them

Oh but pretty girls don't be afraid

Oh but pretty girls don't be afraid

Oh but pretty girls don't be afraid

Oh but pretty girls don't be afraid



They were lads of skill and courage

And their sights were very far

And they joined the country service

In that awful civil war, in that awful civil war

In that awful civil war, in that awful civil war


They were scouts in Rebels army

And were known far and wide

When the Yankees saw them comin'

They throw down their guns and hide

They throw down their guns and hide

They throw down their guns and hide

They throw down their guns and hide
