She was a raven-haired restless drunkard's daughter
             C       F                 G
With skinny legs so long and dark and brown
            C             F                 C        C/B Am
And she believed all the things the Bible taught her
                      C         G           C
'Til she changed her mind and busted outta town

She hitched her life to a rusty El Dorado
             F         Fm               C  F C
And let the warm wind blow across her bones
            Am        F                 Am  Gm Am
And in the night it’s hard to keep from cryin'

Joanna won't you please come home

                 C               F                 C
Sailed down the black mountain trail to meet her lover
            C         F                      G
A no-good gambler the law called "One-Eyed Jack"
                C         F            C    C/B Am
From that cruel summer he never will recover
                  C           G           C
And he don't reckon she's ever coming back

The kind of hero you need at seventeen
        C              F                  C    C/B Am
A wild rose that went searching for some water
               C          G            C
And the kinda light that shadows never see
