They found him in the lane
With c**aine in his brain
They found him on his own Someone saw him lying there
[Chorus:]
I heard what was said
Another rebel dead
They say he k**ed himself
But it was someone else
His name was on their list
And now he don't exist
He didn't stand a chance
Upon his grave they dance
They were determined to blow him out
And so the papers read
That Johnny Smith was dead
A little girl asked why
And made her brother cry
Why did they make him go that way
