Lyrics

There was a man called Johnny Brown
And he lived alone outside of town
In a cottage rough and tumbled down
By the wild and rugged mountains
He had a dog and he called him Jack
And he kept some chickens out the back
He played a tune as you passed by
He called the Sally Gardens
He'd travel far for miles around
His squeezebox ringing every town
For a penny or a shilling or a half a crown
And a hand from all the neighbors
He played for the lords and ladies all
And wakes and weddings big and small
For the dancing girls in the village hall
He played the Sally Gardens
Old age soon captured Johnny Brown
His world of travels nearly round
In his cottage rough and tumbled down
By the wild and rugged mountains
On a stone in a churchyard here in town
Reads "Here lies poor old Johnny Brown"
His music echoes silent now
As he played the Sally Gardens
