Shawn Mullins Honeydew The Ballad Of Kathryn Johnston Old Ms. Johnston lived all alone on the sorry side of town Broke down cars and burglar bars on the windows and doors In case danger comes around sitting in her yellow kitchen listening to bad news on her A.M. radio Used to be Louis Armstrong then Martin Luther King Where did everybody go? Out the window where her garden was It's not safe to go outside Old Ms. Johnston in the eye of the storm It was the safest place to hide Yeah life's a gamble for the broken and the weak dealing with the bangers and drugs the winos weave and amble and shuffle on down the street steering clear of all the thugs Now my city hangs her head in shame Can't tell the truth from all the lies everything changed forever and everything stayed the same On the night Ms. Johnston died |
