Schwa Lyrics

El Bandito

Lyricist: Eric Sargent/ Ryan Beke
Vocalist: Eric Sargent

Working all day on the chain Gang
Sleeping in the hall
Decided one day he couldn’t take no more
Now he’s a fugitive on the Run

Well it didn’t take long for the Bossman
To figure out who had gone
He said grab your guns and round up the dogs, cause Johnny is on the run

Old Johnny was a bad bad boy
He’s as bad as they come
He shot five men near the Tennessee line
And now he’s a fugitive on the run

He finally made his way up to Tennessee
And he hoped on a north bound train
The dogs and the guards lost scent of his trail
And now good ole Johnny’s running free

Well it didn’t take long for the Bossman
To figure out who had gone
He said grab your guns and round up the dogs, cause Johnny is on the run

Old Johnny was a bad bad boy
He’s as bad as they come
He shot five men near the Tennessee line
And now he’s a fugitive on the run

Johnny made his way home to Chicago
Where the wind blows cold and long
Eventually the Georgia State penitentiary
They caught wind of Johnny’s song

Well it didn’t take long for the Bossman
To figure out who had gone
He said grab your guns and round up the dogs, cause Johnny is on the run

Old Johnny was a bad bad boy
He’s as bad as they come
He shot five men near the Tennessee line
And now he’s a fugitive on the run
