Dixon and Johnson

Dixon and Johnson went riding out one day,
Dixon and Johnson went riding out one day;
They rode up on a mountain ten thousand miles away
Oh Lord, l've becn all around this world

They rode up on a woman, as cold as cold or more,
They rode up on a woman, as cold as cold or more;
He wrapped her in his coat and set her up behind him,
Oh Lord, l've been all around this world

Dixon being wearied lie down to take a rest,
Up stepped this cruel old woman and stobbed him in the breast

She taken him to her parlor and cooled him with her fan,
She whispered low in her mother's ear, ''I love this gamblin'
man"
Oh woman, oh woman, now see what you have done,
You've killed your bravest soldier, and liable to be hung

They taken her out on the mountain and told her not to run,
All they gave to her was a pistol and a gun

The railroad is finished, the cars are on the track,
Trouble will drive a boy from home, but money will bring hin'
back
