the johnson boys, raised in the ashes
never knew how to court a maid
turn their backs and hide their faces
pretty girl makes them afraid
oh no, shame shame, shame on the johnson boys
johnson boys went a courtin'
coon creek girls so pretty and sweet
couldn't make no conversation
didn't know where to put their feet
oh no, shame shame, shame on the johnson boys
johnson boys went a'huntin'
took two dogs that went astray
tore their clothes and scratched their faces
didn't get home 'till the break of day
oh no, shame shame, shame on the johnson boys
johnson boys went to the city
driving in a chevrolet
they came home broke and walkin
had no money to pay their way
oh no, shame shame, shame on the johnson boys
