Mama says Johnny just got out of jail

She hopes he don't know where she's at 
                             C9(riff 1)   G 
How could she had ever loved that kind of cat

She remembers the dance in the moonlight 
         C           D            G 
From the hall to the back of his car 
G                          C 
He taught her how to drink whiskey

Three chords on a pawnshop guitar

C             D           G 
Back when the feeling was new 
G                      C             
She sang the Red River Valley 
        D           C9(riff 1)   G            C9         G 
For the cowboy who loved her so true

Hanging in bars with professional guests

                          C9(riff 1)  G 
Because he reminds her of someone she knew

Telephone rings off the hook by her bed

The other ends Johnny with a gun to his head

Said you always looked good in black 
                               C9(riff 1)     G         
The next thing she heard was a bone chilling crack

Its best for us all that he's gone"
