[VERSE]
It's [D]of two noble butchers, as [E]I have heard men [F#m]say
[E]Started out from London, all on a market [E7]day
And [A]as they were a-[D]riding as [A]fast as they could [E]ride [E7]
"Oh, [E]stop your horse," says [D]Johnson, "for I [E]hear some woman [F#m]cry"
"I [D]will not stop," says Wilson, "I [E]will not stop," says [F#m]he
"I [E]will not stop," says Wilson, "for robbed [D]we shall [E]be"

[VERSE]
[A]Johnson, he got [D]off his horse, [A]searched the woods all '[E]round [E7]
And [A]there he spied a [D]woman with her [E]hair pinned to the [F#m]ground
"How [D]came you here, dear woman? How [E]came you here fast [F#m]bound?
How [E]came you here this morning, with your hair pinned to the [E7]ground?"
"They [A]robbed me, they [D]stripped me, they [A]left me here fast [E]bound [E7]
They [A]left me here this [D]morning, with my [E]hair pinned to the [F#m]ground"

[CHORUS]
May [D]god keep all good people
May [E]god keep all good people
May [F#m]god keep all good [D]people from [E]such bad compa[A]ny..[D] .. [F#m] [E]

[VERSE]
Then [D]Johnson, he being a valiant man and a [E]man of courage [F#m]bold
He [E]took his coat from off his back to keep her from the [E7]cold
And [A]as they were a-[D]riding as [A]fast as they could [E]ride [E7]
She [A]put a whistle [D]to her mouth and she [E]gave three shivering [F#m]cries

[VERSE]
Up [D]jumped three bold and swaggering men with [E]swords all in their [F#m]hands
Who [E]then commanded Johnson, commanded him to [E7]stand
"I'll [A]stop, I'll stand," says [D]Johnson, "as [A]long as I can [E]stand [E7]
For [A]never was I, in [D]all me life, a[E]fraid of any [F#m]man"

[CHORUS]
May [D]god keep all good people
May [E]god keep all good people
May [F#m]god keep all good [D]people from [E]such bad compa[A]ny..[D] .. [F#m] [E]

[VERSE]
Oh, [D]two of them he quickly slew and the [E]third he did not [F#m]mind
Till the [E]false young woman took a knife and stabbed him from be[E7]hind
Poor [A]Johnson he spun [D]round about and he [A]fell down to the [E]ground [E7]
And he [A]cursed that wretched [D]woman who [E]gave him his death [F#m]wound

[VERSE]
Now t[D]he day it being a market day, there were [E]people travelling [F#m]by
Who [E]saw the awful murder, who saw poor Johnson [E7]die
Now [A]Johnson he was a [D]valiant man, and a [A]valiant man was [E]he [E7]
May [A]god keep all good [D]people from [E]such bad compa[F#m]ny

[CHORUS]
May [D]god keep all good people
May [E]god keep all good people
May [F#m]god keep all good [D]people from [E]such bad compa[A]ny..[D] .. [F#m] [E]
