Songtexte The Three Butchers - Pete Seeger
Johnstone
he
was
riding
along
Fast
as
he
could
ride
When
he
thought
he
heard
a
woman
He
heard
a
woman
cry
Johnstone
getting
off
his
horse
Searching
the
woods
all
round
When
he
came
upon
a
woman,
With
her
hair
bent
to
the
ground
Woman,dearest
woman
Who
brought
you
here
for
a
span
Who
had
brought
you
here
this
morning
With
yer
hair
bent
to
the
ground
Oh
it
were
three
bold
and
struggling
men
With
swords
gleaming
on
Who
that
brought
me
here
this
morning
With
me
hair
pinned
to
the
ground
Well,
Johnstone
being
a
man
of
his
own
Being
a
man
and
bold
He
has
taken
off
his
overcoat
To
cover
her
from
the
cold
Johnstone
getting
on
his
horse
The
woman
gets
on
behind
They
rode
down
that
lonesome
highway
Their
fortune
for
to
find
They
were
riding
all
alone
Fastest
they
could
ride
When
she
threw
her
fingers
to
her
lips
And
gave
three
shivering
cries
And
out
sprang
three
bold
and
strugling
men
With
swords
gleaming
on
Uhhh,that
commanded
Johnstone
Commanded
him
to
stand
I'll
all
stop
them,said
Johnstone
I'll
stop,then
said
he
For
I
never
was
in
all
my
life
Afraid
of
any
three
Johnstone
killing
two
of
them
Not
watching
the
woman
behind
While
he
was
after
the
other
one
She
stabbed
him
from
behind
Day
was
free
and
a
market
day
People
all
passing
by
Could
that
saw
awfull
murder
Could
have
seen
poor
Johnstone
die
