Hi Nick - I know you're in work and I don't suppose you've got the CD with you - The CD's called 'Time Again'
Here's a stab at the lyrics:
Police (From Dirk Powell)
Police come I didnt wanna go this mornin'(x2)
Police come I didnt wanna go
Shot him in the head with my 44 this mornin'
'Fore you die son have your fun this mornin' (x2)
'Fore you die son have your fun
And work like the devil when the police come this mornin'(x2)
There's old John lyin' on a log this mornin'(x2)
There's old John lyin' on a log
Finger on the trigger and his eye on the hog this mornin'
Down went the trigger and bang went the gun this mornin'(x2)
Down went the trigger and bang went the gun
We hitched him to a wagon and we hauled him home this mornin'
Know a little secret I aint gonna tell this mornin'(x2)
Know a little secret I aint gonna tell
I want go to heaven but lord I'm ........this mornin'
(presumably 'goin' to hell' left out for bible belt reasons)
There's old John a-sittin' on a plow this mornin'(x2)
There's old John a-sittin' on a plow
Tryin to get a woman but he dont know how this mornin'
Tryin to get a woman but he dont know how this mornin'(x2)
Tryin to get a woman but he dont know how
Gruntin'(or possibly huntin')like a hog lookin' for a sow this mornin'
Police come I didn't wanna go this mornin'(x2)
Police come I didn't wanna go
Shot him in the head with my 44 this mornin'
Cheers
Ray
