Verse 1 She had left him lost and broken Like no other had before And now his heart was just a token Of the pain it had endured And his memories were clouded With all the hurtful things she’d said Yes fer all intent and purpose He might just as well been dead Chorus And some people claim they still hear him call her name Hey hey Maureen swear they hear him just that plain Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn See his body died some years ago Around here Mr Johnson’s love lives on Verse 2 He seemed far away and distant With that cold and silent stare Never moving never speaking And just barely breathing air No one really knew her reason And who can judge her right or wrong The only true and solemn fact is The man we’d known was all but gone Chorus>>> Fiddle Solo: Verse 3 Sissy Thompson said she’d seen him Late that night on Shelby road About a mile from there they found him It seems he died out in the snow I hear’d the preacher at the service Say from love he’s finally free But I say love it knows no season It haunts the soul eternally Chorus>>> Yes his body died some years ago around here Mr. Johnson’s love lives on...

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme brisé par une séparation douloureuse, dont le cœur n'est plus qu'un symbole de la souffrance qu'il a subie. Sa quelconque existence est marquée par des souvenirs pénibles, et bien qu'il soit physiquement présent, il semble être mort à l'intérieur. Son amour pour Maureen persiste malgré tout, et même après sa mort, on dit que son esprit continue de l'appeler, témoignant d'une affection éternelle qui ne connaît ni temps ni saison. On évoque même le climat glacial dans lequel il a trouvé la fin, contrastant avec la chaleur des émotions non résolues qui le hantent. Au final, l'amour reste, bien au-delà de la vie elle-même.
