Brad's Senior Project

Here comes Johnny
on his steed.
He comes into this town
for his needs.
52 cards in his pocket and he puts his hat down,
to play his game

Chorus:

Johnny looks into the place to find his 5
lays the cards down 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
reaches in his pocket to find his place
lays it down, this is his game

(These 2 stanzas are sung at the same time)
Brad: Hi my name is Johnny I will take you down
I will take you
Doesn't matter what's in my hand this is my game
This is my, my game
It does no good here

Chad&Pete: Put your money away (x3)
Put it away (x3)
It does no good here

No good here, no good, no good here, it does no good here

Johnny was down in Old Man Wheelright's(?) basement
he was lookin kind of peeky(?)
Blood ran from his face
He was looking like somthing was going on
And Old Man Wheelright(?) was getting kind of suspicious
when he looked into his face

Chorus:

As he looked into his sleeve and put his money down
The Ace comes first, the King is next, then the Queen
Looks into the final ring and sees the Jack is there
One more to go
He doesn't have the card,
it doesn't matter to him
He's gonna take the game

(These 2 stanzas are sung at the same time)
Chad&Pete: Put your money away (x3)
Put it away (x3)

Brad: Here he stands here come's Johnny
He's got the money in his hands it is his time
He's got the money and your pride too
Here comes Johnny

Pistol got Johnny's bill right back
and he's lying on the floor looking up at his favorite horse
He was looking so sad and the blood stained floor was
hearing Johnny scream all the way back to Kansas

Chorus:

Story:
That's right you've probably heard of me,
my reputation seems to precede me in these parts.
Well the winds' been whistling today and so have I,
whistling that familiar tune I whisper into the wind
every time I come into this town.
See I don't live here: they won't have it, maybe I won't have them.
Every day I ride they look at me with that stare.
They say they don't like me, I think they like me,
they just don't trust me.
Well here's the scene.
Old Buckeye Saloon.
You can tell who's not form these parts,
they drink to the right side of the bar, I drink to the left.
Wild Bill's whiskey every time.
Rickety staircase in the back'll take you up to 3 worn out cots;
first come first serve.
Upstairs, downstairs.
One table, 5 chairs.
Poker, poker only.
That's me, that's my game.
