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 con
tract.
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.
