Johnsons love Dwight Yokum Written by: Dwight Yokum Album: Hillbilly Deluxe 1987 Sent by: William R Salle' I would like to dedicate this submission of Dwights' song to my late father, Badwater Bob. Keep on pickin' dad! JOHNSONS LOVE Verse 1 G C D She had left him lost and broken G Like no other had before C D And now his heart was just a token G Of the pain it had endured C D And his memories were clouded G With all the hurtful things she'd said C D Yes fer all intent and purpose G He might just as well been dead Chorus D C G And some people claim they still hear him call her name D C G Hey hey Maureen swear they hear him just that plain D C G Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn C See his body died some years ago D G Around here Mr Johnsons love lives on Verse 2 C D He seemed far away and distant G With that cold and silent stare C D Never moving, never speaking G And just barely breathing air C D No one really knew her reason G And who can judge her right or wrong C D The only true and solomn fact is G The man we'd known was all but gone Chorus>>> Verse 3 C D Sissy Thompson said she'd seen him G Late that night on Shelby road C D About a mile from there they found him G It seems he died out in the snow C D I hear'd the preacher at the service G Say from love he's finally free C D But I say love it knows no season G It haunts the soul eternally Chorus>>> C D G Yes his body died some years ago around here Mr. Johnsons love lives on...
