The Johnsons of Turkey Ridge

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
