Legend Of The Johnson Boys Lyrics - The Essential Flatt & Scruggs: 'tis Sweet To Be Remembered - Flatt And Scruggs

Have you heard the many a story 

Told by old and young with joy 

'Bout the many deeds of daring 

That was done by the Johnson boys 

That was done by the Johnson boys 

That was done by the Johnson boys 

That was done by the Johnson boys 

The Johnson boys were boys of honor 

They knew how to court the maids 

They knew how to hug and kiss them 

Oh but pretty girls don't be afraid 

Oh but pretty girls don't be afraid 

Oh but pretty girls don't be afraid 

Oh but pretty girls don't be afraid 

They were lads of skill and courage 

And their sights were very far 

And they joined the country service 

In that awful civil war, in that awful civil war 

In that awful civil war, in that awful civil war 

They were scouts in Rebels army 

And were known far and wide 

When the Yankees saw them comin' 

They throw down their guns and hide 

They throw down their guns and hide 

They throw down their guns and hide 

They throw down their guns and hide
