Killer Weed
Y'all have heard of Dillinger and the terrible Barrow mob
They plundered all across Florida state
They kidnapped killed and robbed
everywhere these bad men went they left a bloody trail
The only fate these outlaws feared
Was the duval county jail
Jacksonville has it's low down bars
with women booze and brawls
But the bars of the duval county jail are the toughest bars of all
Killers and crooks from far and wide
Know of duval counties fame
But one failed to get the word
And Johnson was his name
Somewhere near old Jacksonville is a field that's gone to seed and on this land is a virgin stand of the well known loco weed
Johnson recognized this crop that once was raised for rope. He helped a farmer clear his field and picked eighty pounds of dope.
Now Florida has its farmers. It's cows and pigs and corn
one Pig turned out to be a narc
The meanest ever born
Some folks say he's a top lawman
With a badge a gun and guts
Others say he tries too hard and seems a little nuts
Most anything can hang a man
If tied around his neck
Johnson he did hang himself
With the hemp he did collect
You can cuss and spit in Florida state and live to tell the tale
But picks its grass and it'll Slam your ass in the duval county jail
