Johnny Cash – The Chicken In Black
For two long years my head hurt bad
So the doctor checked me and he shook his head
He said Im sorry to tell you put your bodys out lived your brain
He said I know this doctor in New York son
And hell 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 bodys shot but his brains alright
Ill give you a transplant boy and youll be okay.
I got my new brain in and I was feelin great
I went right back to Nashville with no head ache
But somethin strange happened when I walked in the bank one day.
Chorus:
I said stick em up everybody Im robbin this place
Drop all of your money in my guitar case
Dont nobody move and dont nobody reach for that door
A lady said why youre Johnny Cash
I said no maam, Im The Manhatton Flash
And I am the best bank robber, in New York.
Now the other night Roy Acuff called me
He said John Id like you to do the Orpy
So I went out on the stage, but I couldnt sing
I got into half a verse of I Walk The Line
And somethin snapped in this head of mine
I yelled stick em up, give me your money your watches and your rings.
Well I called New York and talked to that brain quack
I said doc I got to have my old brain back
He said Im sorry there Mr. Cash but I cant do that.
He said I put your brain in a chicken last Monday
Hes singin your songs and makin lots of money
And I got him signed to a ten year recordin contract.
Now friends if you see me walkin down the street
Remember what you see aint necessarly me
And if I try to hold you up, dont pay me no mind.
But when you got ten bucks that you can blow
You oughta catch that Johnny Chicken Show
Hes doin fairs and concert dates all up and down the line.
Chorus2:
I said stick em up everybody Im robbin this place
Drop all of your money in my guitar case
Dont nobody move and dont nobody reach for that door
A lady said why youre Johnny Cash
I said no maam, Im The Manhattan Flash
And I am the best bank robber, in New York.
Well it dont pay any income tax
You dont pay tax on money you steal
You oughta catch that Johnny Chicken Show
Chicken In Black.
