With his Darms folded up and his Gmblue eyes all closed

And he died killing men
A Gmmost honerable sin
But them mean boys in blue they done Fturned him in
And they Dlaid him low with a Gmlaugh and a grin

BbOh who will bring back my FJohnny boy's bones
To Dlay beneath the trees of his GmTennesse home
A Bbbox, a box made of Fsturdy white oak
With his Darms folded up, and his Gmblue eyes all closed X3
