[Verse 1]
If my lantern's not too bright
If my pistol's not polished for the fight
And if there's something that ain't right
I'll be here forever just for tonight

[Verse 2]
This is just a drinking song
Something just for me to sing along
And if the proof is very strong
This is where I belong

[Chorus]
Johnny was a good man
They put him in the corn
You'd think at least we would stand
When Johnny gets reborn
Johnny was a good man
We put him in the corn
You'd think at least we would stand
When Johnny gets reborn
Johnny was a good man
We put him in the corn
You'd think at least we would stand
When Johnny gets reborn
Johnny was a good man
We put him in the corn
You'd think at least wе would stand
When Johnny gets reborn
[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Johnny was a good man
Wе put him in the corn
Johnny was a good man
