about

A different sort of cowboy ballad

lyrics

Me and Johnny Michaels
copyright 2020 T R Munday

Me and Johnny Michaels
Rode out one fine spring day
Leavin' out of Illinois
To live the cowboy way

Johnny had a gelding
And me a swaybacked mare
Each of us wore Stetson hats
We were a dashing pair

Johnny had a Navy Colt
Me I had my rope
We crossed the Mississippi
With a lot of other folk

Go west young man they told us
Go west young man they'd say
Go west young man they told us
And we were on our way

We wandered down to Fort Worth
A cow town through and through
I signed up with a cattle ranch
And Johnny he did too

We rode on our to Cheyenne
And said goodbye one day
Me I kept on herding cows
Johnny took the outlaw way

Who knows where the story ends?
I'm riding for the brand
There is a price on Johnny's head
He is a wanted man

Go west young man they told us
Go west young man they'd say
Go west young man they told us
And we were on our way
