Testo
Oh, down the road came a poor little John Crow
Boys, and he's loaded as he could be
The poor man is knocked out, knocked out loaded
And he's wobblin' all over the street
I heard him singing, six months was no sun
He said one year was not no time
He said he had friends, still in and gone
Serving from fourteen to ninety-nine
You know, when he had plenty of money
He had a friend all over town
Since he been broke, ragged and hungry
Not a single friend can be found
Well, the poor boy pawned his watch and pistol
Yes, he pawned his diamond ring
He tried to pawn the woman he was loving
But the poor girl couldn't sign her name
She said give him water if he get thirsty
But tell him that water is mighty fine when you're dry
Give him attention when he get sickly
Give him the graveyard, that is if he dies

Thank you
Thank you very much, thank you
