Headed for Wyoming in 1882, a woman, a team and a wagon Gonna make our dreams come true Settled in the foothills of the big horn mountain slope Life is sweet, we lived on the meat of the deer and the antelopeWe cut house logs upon the mountain with the team we hauled 'em down Peeled 'em and we stacked 'em up for a house and bought some ground Traded for some cattle, turned 'em out on the open range The skies were blue, we never knew how things were gonna changeOh, Powder River, you're muddy and you're wide How many men have died along your shore? When you brand a man a rustler, he's gotta take a side There's no middle ground in this Johnson County warWell the neighbors stopped by yesterday while I was outside choppin' wood They filled me in on a local news, ain't none of it sounded good Said, there had been some cattle stealin' by some no count outlaw bands We'd all been branded rustlers by the big ranchers of this landWell, it was us against the cattlemen and the years just made it worse First the drought and then the tough winter Johnson County had been dealt a curse Then there came the story about the two dry gulch attacks Ranger Jones and John Tisdale had been both shot in the backOh, Powder River, you're muddy and you're wide How many men have died along your shore? When you brand a man a rustler, he's gotta take a side There's no middle ground in this Johnson County warThen, last night at supper time riders stopped by chance They said cattleman and their hired guns just burned the Kaycee Ranch Two men had died this mornin', shot down in the snow Now the vigilante army was on the march to BuffaloWell the County was in an uproar and every man saddled up to ride Caught the cattlemen at the TA Ranch and surrounded all four sides We hailed the house with bullets and swore they were gonna pay But the cavalry came across the plains and once again they saved the dayWell, they marched 'em off to Cheyenne, no one went to jail The cattlemen were all turned loose and the hired guns hit the trail And I guess the only justice wasn't much to say the least Last winter me and mine ate mighty fine on the cattle baron's beefOh, Powder River, you're muddy and you're wide How many men have died along your shore? When you brand a man a rustler, he's gotta take a side There's no middle ground in this Johnson County war There's no middle ground in this Johnson County war
