There's a place I've got to go up in Kentucky Got to find a place called Johnson's Ridge Back on one of them hills is a bunch I've sworn to kill I'm going to go get them Johnson's of Turkey Ridge Well I never knew my daddy much to speak of But I've heard tell he was a mighty good man I remember them dirty Johnson's came and shot him Then hung him from a tree and burned our land I'll never forget the look on old man Johnson's face Held me by the hair and pointed to the ridge He said tell the sheriff if he wants us come and get us Sheriff tried and sheriff died on Turkey Ridge As soon as I can I'm sneaking back in them mountains Going burn them out by setting fire to the ridge When they come running for high ground I'm going to shoot them down And leave 'em for the buzzards on Turkey Ridge Like they left my daddy for the buzzards on Turkey Ridge I'm going to leave 'em for the buzzards on Turkey Ridge
