《Johnny 99》歌词

[00:00:00] Johnny 99 - Johnny Cash

[00:00:13] Well they closed down

[00:00:14] The auto plant in Mahwah late last month

[00:00:19] Ralph went out lookin' for a job

[00:00:21] But he couldn't find none

[00:00:26] He came home too drunk from mixin'

[00:00:28] Tanqueray and wine

[00:00:32] He got a gun shot a night clerk now

[00:00:35] They call him Johnny 99

[00:00:38] Dawn in that part of town

[00:00:40] Where when you hit red light you don't stop

[00:00:45] Johnny's wavin' his gun around

[00:00:47] And threatin' to blow his top

[00:00:51] When an off duty cop snuck up on him on from behind

[00:00:58] Out in front of the club

[00:00:59] Tip Top they slapped the cuffs on Johnny 99

[00:01:04] Well the city suplied a public defender

[00:01:07] But the judge was mean John Brown

[00:01:11] He came into the courtroom

[00:01:14] And stared poor Johnny down

[00:01:19] Well the evidence is clear gonna

[00:01:20] Let the sentence fit the crime

[00:01:25] Prison for 98 and a year will make it even Johnny 99

[00:01:57] A fist fight broke out in the courtroom

[00:02:01] They had to drag Johnny's girl away

[00:02:04] His mama stood up

[00:02:05] And shouted judge don't take my boy this way

[00:02:12] Well son you got any statement you'd like to make

[00:02:18] Before the bailiff comes to forever take you away

[00:02:25] Yes your judge I got debts no honest man could pay

[00:02:31] The bank was holdin' my mortgage

[00:02:33] They was takin' my house away

[00:02:38] Now I ain't sayin' that makes me an innocent man

[00:02:44] But it was more than all this

[00:02:46] That put that gun in my hand

[00:02:50] And your honor I do believe I'd be better off dead

[00:02:57] If you can take a man's life for

[00:02:59] The thoughts that are in his head

[00:03:03] Then won't you sit back in

[00:03:05] That chair and think it over one more time

[00:03:09] And let 'em shave off my hair and burn Johnny 99
