John Brown Songtext
von Jimmy Ryan

I was there when John Brown died
Thirteen steps to the gallows high
I saw the look upon his face
He was a proud man, no disgrace

You wouldn′t know to look at you
That man died, Lord, he got screwed
All for his love of a man
These days couldn't give a damn, give a damn


When she kissed him goodbye
She had no clue it was for the very last time
You always think, you always plan
You never know when you′re gonna lose that man

You wouldn't know to look at you
That man died, Lord, he got screwed
All for his love of a man
These days couldn't give a damn, give a damn

There′s a pain, it′s in my chest
Now that's a pain just like, like all the rest
It′s a kind of pain you can't let go
It′s the kind of thing that we, we all must know


You wouldn't know to look at you
That man died, Lord, he got screwed
All for his love of a man
These days couldn′t give a damn, give a damn
