John Healey was a desperate little man 
He carried his gun everyday 
He shot a man when he looked him in the eye 
He shot him and he shot him dead 
Shot him and he shot him dead 

See John Healey start a runnin' 
Made it 'bout twenty miles away 
Up stepped a man, took him by the arm 
Sayin' Johnny come and go with me
Johnny come and go with me 

So he sent for his darlin' mother to come 
Sent for her to come and pay his bail 
But there ain't no bail for a murderin' man 
They threw John Healey in jail 
They threw John Healey in jail 

They hung him by his head 
With tears a rollin' down his cheeks 
There ain't no care for a murderin' man 
His mother couldn't help but weep 
His mother couldn't help but weep 

Now all you people take a warnin' 
From this here song and learn 
There's a Johnny in me, and a Johnny in you 
I didn't feel glad to watch him hang 
I didn't feel glad to watch him hang
