He rode into the town one day, upon his great white horse
Gun in either holster
Golden spurs upon his feet
There's gonna be a showdown
I heard the townsfolk scream
Yeah. Young John, he was tough
Young John, he was mean
Oh John, what would your mother say?
If I see you do that again, I'll blow you all away
I'll blow you all away
I'm not scared of you young John
I'm gonna shoot you down
You come waltzing right on in
You think you own this town
And the Psycho Cowboy Woman
Took 3 steps to the side
And as she screamed 'I love you John'
Sunk a bullet in Johns hide
Oh John, what would your mother say?
If I see you do that again, I'll blow you all away
I'll blow you all away
And then in crying anguish
She put the gun up to her head
And screamed
Oh John
You've gone
Oh John you've gone
You've gone oh John
Oh John
You've gone
Oh yes In crying anguish she put a gun up to her head
And screamed out only now, can I love you now I'm dead
And their spirits rose together, and mounted the great white horse
Together for all eternity, but to leave fear and remorse
Oh John, what would your mother say?
If I see you do that again, I'll blow you all away
I'll blow you all away
And you can still see the ghost shimmering
Two abreast the ghostly mane
Yee-ha
John, John, John, John
You've gone
