The Ballad Of Johnny Blood Lyrics by David Friedman

Desperate Measures

2018

[GOVERNOR]
Johnny Blood
Johnny Blood
A boy condemned to die
[SHERIFF]
Johnny Blood
Johnny Blood
Soon they'll hang him high
[MARY JO]
Can anybody save him?
[BELLA]
Will anybody try?
[PRIEST]
Johnny Blood, Prepare Yourself
[GOVERNOR, SHERIFF, MARY JO, BELLA, PRIEST]
Your doom is nigh
[JOHNNY]
I didn't didn't mean to kill Big Swede
But I was robber by drink
The whole thing happened in a blur
I had no time to think
Bella, she was with me
And oh
I loved her so
And that, my boys, was my mistake
That woman brought me low
[GOVERNOR, SHERIFF, MARY JO, BELLA, PRIEST]
Johnny Blood
Johnny Blood
A woman brought him low
[JOHNNY]
Then Big Swede grabbed her off
I told him, "Let her be!"
I knocked him down
And next I knew, his gun was aimed at me
Several shots were fired
Who shot first?
I don't know
There's just one thing I'm sure of, boys
A woman brought me low
[GOVERNOR, SHERIFF, MARY JO, BELLA, PRIEST, JOHNNY]
Can anybody see him?
Will anybody try?
Johnny Blood, prepare yourself
Your doom is nigh
[GOVERNOR, MARY JO, BELLA, PRIEST, (SHERIFF)]
Johnny Blood, Johnny Blood
(Johnny Blood)
A boy condemned to die
(Johnny Blood)
Soon they'll hang him high
[GOVERNOR, SHERIFF, MARY JO, BELLA, PRIEST, (JOHNNY)]
Can anybody see him?
(Who will save me?)
Johnny Blood, prepare yourself
Your doom is nigh
Ah
