Jeremiah Johnston rolled 'round in his grave
Jeremiah Johnston rolled right 'round in his grave
Jeremiah Johnston rolled 'round in his grave
His woman took his lightening
She gave it all away

She brought it down to county
for constable Jones
She bring it down to county
to give to constable Jones
She brought it all to county
for constable Jones
He let's her in the back door
So they can be alone

Jeremiah, oh Jeremiah
We're all gathered 'round your tomb
I can see the angels prance
oh I can here the devils dance
they fightin' over you

The ghost of Jeremiah
ramble round in his tomb
Say that's the ghost of Jeremiah
ramblin' right round in his tomb
Say that's the ghost of Jeremiah
ramblin' round in his tomb
His woman gone and done him in
Now she got his Moonshine too

Jeremiah, oh Jeremiah
We're all gathered 'round your tomb
I can see the angels prance
oh I can here the devils dance
they fightin' over you

Now the constable he pleads for peace
leave us all alone
Yeah the constable he pleads for peace
constable Jones
The constable he pleads for peace
leave us all alone
I won't touch your woman
or your lightening let me go

Well you can have the dirty harlot
that old tramp of mine
said you can have that dirty harlot
yeah, that old tramp of mine
Well you can have that dirty harlot
that old tramp of mine
But don't you touch my Whiskey
Or I'll haunt you till you die

Jeremiah, oh Jeremiah
We're all gathered 'round your tomb
I can see the angels prance
Lord I can here the devils dance
they fightin' over you

Jeremiah Johnston rolled 'round in his grave
I said Jeremiah Johnston rolled right 'round in his grave
I said Jeremiah Johnston rolled 'round in his grave
His woman took his lightening
She gave it all away
