john donald mcfaddyen - cowboys & indians lyrics

Loading...

long before our river flooded
it was a boy named john from the family mcfaddyen
after work in the fields around [?]
his father said “son, here’s some things to know.”

“johnny boy are a man of men but
you should find a wife and settle down
raise some children, find a trade and a piece of land
keep your feet flat on that solid ground.”

so he took the words from his loving father
and he packed his bags and he kissed his mother
said goodbye to his sisters and his brothers
traded all he had for a spot[?] and a boxcart

found a house with a view of the sh-r-
made a family with abby then he had a [?]
made a living carbon steel with the iron ore
until he heard the calling of the lord, he said:

“go johnny, go
go and save their souls.”

now the preaching blood flowed in his veins
and everywhere he spoke there was people came to
fire a god d-mn [?]
and tickle that ears he didn’t take no gold

people would shout “here comes johnny d!
with a fire like a man from galilee!”
and the words that was said toss captains free
he taught moses how to part that sea

come on
come on
come on
come on
come on
come on

on the way home that pot of tea came in
every last man began to confess their sins
the ship got struck outside of port lynn
and it all went down and they started to swim

and as that ship was going down
someone yelled out “i’m gonna drown!”
johhny’s last thought was of his wife
when he gave up his jacket, and he lost his life

now abby’s at home putting em to sleep
she puts the babe down and begins to weep
she knows that johnny’s been swallowed by water, he’s down
there and saving souls from davy jones locker

he’s not coming home
he has gone down, down, down to save their souls
he said: “go johnny, go
go and save their souls.”
