[00:00:00] The Chicken in Black - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:01] Written by：Gary Gentry

[00:00:10] For two long years my head hurt bad

[00:00:12] So a doctor checked me and he shook his head

[00:00:15] He said I'm sorry to tell you but your body's outlived your brain

[00:00:20] He said I know this doctor in New York son

[00:00:22] And he'll fix you right up with a brand new one

[00:00:25] So the head doctor met me when I stepped down off of the train

[00:00:30] He said we had this bank robber killed last night

[00:00:33] His body's shot but his brain's alright

[00:00:36] I'll give you a transplant boy and you'll be OK

[00:00:40] I got my new brain in and I was feeling great

[00:00:43] I went right back to Nashville with no headache

[00:00:45] But something strange happened when I walked in the bank one day

[00:00:50] I said stick 'em up everybody I'm robbing this place

[00:00:53] Drop all of your money in my guitar case

[00:00:56] Don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door

[00:01:01] A lady said why you're johnny cash

[00:01:03] I said no ma'am I'm the Manhattan flash

[00:01:06] And I am the best bank robber in New York

[00:01:11] Now the other night Roy Acuff called me

[00:01:14] He said john I'd like for you to do the opry

[00:01:16] So I went out on the stage but I couldn't sing

[00:01:21] I got into a half a verse of I walk the line

[00:01:24] And something snapped in this head of mine

[00:01:26] I yelled stick 'em up give me your money your watches and rings

[00:01:34] Well I called New York and talked to that brain quack

[00:01:37] And said doc I gotta have my old brain back

[00:01:39] He said I'm sorry there MR cash but I can't do that

[00:01:44] He said I put your brain in a chicken last Monday

[00:01:46] He's singing your songs and making lots of money

[00:01:49] And I got him signed to a ten year recording contract

[00:01:54] Now friends if you see me walking down the street

[00:01:56] Remember what you see ain't necessarily me

[00:01:59] And if I try to hold you up don't pay me no mind

[00:02:04] But when you got ten bucks that you can blow

[00:02:07] You oughta catch that johnny chicken show

[00:02:09] He's doing fairs and concert dates all up and down the line

[00:02:14] I said stick 'em up everybody I'm robbing this place

[00:02:17] Drop all of your money in my guitar case

[00:02:19] Don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door

[00:02:24] A lady said why you're johnny cash

[00:02:27] I said no ma'am I'm the Manhattan flash

[00:02:29] And I am the best bank robber in New York

[00:02:36] Well I don't pay any income tax

[00:02:39] You don't pay tax on money you steal

[00:02:42] You oughta catch that johnny chicken show

[00:02:46] Chicken in black

[00:02:49] Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
