Freddy Tönnesen - Whiskey for Johnny Ringo Lyrics

Johnny Ringo born to roam the west
With a six-gun by his side he never knew rest
At fourteen years old a crack shot they say
He watched his father die on that fateful day
From Texas to Tombstone trouble followed him round
A hard-drinkin' loner where danger was found
If you visit his grave in the dead of night
Leave a whiskey behind or you'll feel his fright
For Johnny Ringo's spirit they say won't be tamed
Without that drink he'll haunt you by name
In the town of Tombstone where legends collide
Johnny faced off with the Earps and Doc with pride
A man who loved Shakespeare but lived by the gun
He'd challenge anyone under the desert sun
He drank more than usual with a sense of dread
Talkin' 'bout death that loomed in his head
If you visit his grave in the dead of night
Leave a whiskey behind or you'll feel his fright
For Johnny Ringo's spirit they say won't be tamed
Without that drink he'll haunt you by name
They found him one morning by Turkey Creek
A bullet to the head his end was bleak
Some say it was suicide others think foul play
But his ghost still wanders to this very day
Some say it was Wyatt others say Doc
Who pulled the trigger and set the final clock
But no one knows for sure in that canyon so wide
Where Johnny Ringo met his end and his legend died
A gunslinger's fate in the Arizona heat
In the tales of the west his name we repeat
If you visit his grave in the dead of night
Leave a whiskey behind or you'll feel his fright
For Johnny Ringo's spirit they say won't be tamed
Without that drink he'll haunt you by name
Johnny Ringo a name etched in lore
A haunted gunslinger forever more
So if you find yourself by his resting place
Leave that whiskey or meet him face to face
Leave that whiskey or meet him face to face
They found him one morning by Turkey Creek
A bullet to the head his end was bleak
Some say it was suicide others think foul play
Leave that whiskey or meet him face to face
If you visit his grave in the dead of night
Leave a whiskey behind or you'll feel his fright
For Johnny Ringo's spirit they say won't be tamed
Without that drink he'll haunt you by name
Johnny Ringo a name etched in lore
A haunted gunslinger forever more
So if you find yourself by his resting place
Leave that whiskey or meet him face to face
Leave that whiskey or meet him face to face
