I hear them Johnson boys a-coming
Singing and a-hollering and shooting off their guns;
All the other fellers scared as the devil,
Johnson boys has got'em on the run (2x)

Johnson boys, won't do to mess with,
They stick together just like glue
If you start any kind of trouble,
They'll beat the hell out of you (2x)

Johnson boys went to the mountain
They didn't reckon long to stay,
Met up with some high-borned ladies
Didn't get back till the break of day

Johnson boys, getting mighty sassy
Johnson boys, think they're men,
Comb their hair and wash their faces
Look pretty good for the shape they're in

Johnson boys, they went a-courtin'
Johnson boys, they didn't stay
Reason why they went no further,
Had no money fur to pay their way

Johnson boys, raised in ashes
Didn't know how to court a maid;
Turned their backs and hid their faces
Sight of a purty girl made them afraid

Johnson boys, brave and hearty,
They knows how to court old maids
Kiss and hug and call 'em honey,
Rush up pretty girls, don't be afraid

Johnson boys, play your fiddle,
Johnson boys, sing your song,
Johnson boys, hug in the middle,
Hug in the middle and you can't go wrong

Johnson boys, mowin' in the meadow
Big black snake bit one on the toe;
He commenced a-yellin' and a-hollerin'
It's a sight to see them Johnson boys go!
