Landslide
Johnnie was eleven when he came of age
running from a home in Mexico
Seven years later on Christmas Eve
Johnnie got married to an Eskimo
She was only young but the law was loose
all they needed was a clean start
and holding the ring on her warm finger
Johnnie got married to his sweetheart
And you know what happened next?
Johnnie ran off with his child bride
And you know what happened next?
They both got buried in a landslide
Johnnie went looking for a white saloon
to drive his lover to another town
they were setting sail for the land of hope
and she was only wearing a night-gown
The stars shone, the snow fell
the night hailed for a bright day
And waving goodbye to their ancestors
they rode away
And you know what happened next?
Johnnie ran off with his child bride
And you know what happened next?
They both got buried in a landslide
"I miss you Johnnie"
"I miss you too honey"
Johnnie was eleven when he came of age
running from the shadow of a black cloud
Seven years later on Christmas Eve
an Eskimo made Johnnie proud
And you know what happened next?
Johnnie ran off with his child bride
And you know what happened next?
They both got buried in a landslide
running from a home in Mexico
Seven years later on Christmas Eve
Johnnie got married to an Eskimo
She was only young but the law was loose
all they needed was a clean start
and holding the ring on her warm finger
Johnnie got married to his sweetheart
And you know what happened next?
Johnnie ran off with his child bride
And you know what happened next?
They both got buried in a landslide
Johnnie went looking for a white saloon
to drive his lover to another town
they were setting sail for the land of hope
and she was only wearing a night-gown
The stars shone, the snow fell
the night hailed for a bright day
And waving goodbye to their ancestors
they rode away
And you know what happened next?
Johnnie ran off with his child bride
And you know what happened next?
They both got buried in a landslide
"I miss you Johnnie"
"I miss you too honey"
Johnnie was eleven when he came of age
running from the shadow of a black cloud
Seven years later on Christmas Eve
an Eskimo made Johnnie proud
And you know what happened next?
Johnnie ran off with his child bride
And you know what happened next?
They both got buried in a landslide
