Paroles de The Chicken In Black
The Chicken in BlackFor two long years my head hurt bad, so the doctor checked me and he shook his head,
He said: ?I?m sorry to tell you, but your body outlived your brain?.
He said: ?I know this doctor in New York, son and he?ll fix you right up with a brand new one?.
So the head doctor met me when I stepped down off the train.
He said: ?We had this bank robber killed last night. His body?s shot, but his brain?s alright.
I?ll give you a transplant boy and you?ll be o.k.?
I got my new brain and I was feelin? great.
I went right back to Nashville with no headache,
But somethin? strange happened when I walked in the bank one day.
I said: ?Stick ?em everybody, I?m robbin? this place.
Drop all of your money in my guitar case.
Don?t nobody move and don?t nobody reach for that door?.
A lady said: ?Why you?re Johnny Cash?.
I said: ?No m?am, I?m the Manhattan Flash and I am the best bank robber in New York?.
Now the other night Roy Acuff called me.
He said: ?John, I?d like for you to do the opry?.
So I went out on the stage but I couldn?t sing. I got into half a verse of ?I Walk The Line?
Then somethin? snapped in this head of mine, I yelled,
?Stick ?em up, give me your money, your watches and rings?.
Well, I called New York and talked to that brain quack.
I said: ?Doc, I?ve got to have my old brain back?.
He said: ?I?m sorry there; Mr. Cash, but I can?t do that?.
He said: ?I put your brain in a chicken last Monday.
He?s singin? your songs and makin? lots of money,
And I got him signed to a ten year recording contract?. You ought a catch that Johnny Chicken Show.
He?s doin? fairs and concert dates all up and down the line.
I said: ?Stick ?em everybody, I?m robbin? this place.
Drop all of your money in my guitar case,
Don?t nobody move and don?t nobody reach for that door?.
A lady said: ?Why you?re Johnny Cash?.
I said: ?No m?am, I?m the Manhattan Flash and I am the best bank robber in New York?.
Well, I don?t pay any income tax you don?t pay tax on money you steal,
You ought a catch that Johnny Chicken Show Chicken in black!
I got my new brain and I was feelin? great.
