Johnson boys they'll never get married
They'll stay single all their lives
Johnson boys they'll never get married
Ain't no woman will be their wife
Ain't no woman will be their wife
Johnson boys were raised in the ashed in the ashes
Didn't know how to court a maid
Turn their backs and hide their faces
Sight of a pretty girl makes 'em afraid
Sight of a pretty girl makes 'em afraid
Johnson boys they went a-huntin'
Took two dags and went astray
Tore their clothes and scratched their faces
Didn't come home till break of day
Didn't come home till break of day
Johnson boys they went a-courtin'
Coon creek girl so pretty and sweet
They couldn't make no comversation
They didn't know to put their feet
