《The Whirl and the Suck》歌词

[00:00:00] The Whirl and the Suck - Johnny Cash

[00:00:27] It took a mighty good man with salty hands

[00:00:31] And a mighty long raft

[00:00:33] To keep the fore before the act

[00:00:37] You take ten good men and guts and luck

[00:00:40] And you might navigate the whirl and the suck

[00:00:47] Well the Tennessee River changed its mind

[00:00:51] At Chattanooga she oughta unwind

[00:00:54] She could a run right on the Georgia Sea

[00:00:57] But she cut right back through Tennessee

[00:01:03] Well the settlers come by raft

[00:01:06] And boat bringin' everything

[00:01:09] That could stay a float

[00:01:10] But like a loco horse that'll twist and buck

[00:01:14] They hardly ever made it

[00:01:15] Through the whirl and the suck

[00:01:20] It took a mighty good man with salty hands

[00:01:23] And a mighty long raft to

[00:01:26] Keep the fore before the act

[00:01:29] You take ten good men and guts and luck

[00:01:32] And you might navigate the whirl and the suck

[00:02:05] When General Washington was

[00:02:07] In his knicker bocks

[00:02:09] The Cherokee Indians

[00:02:10] Through the Chattanooga Rocks

[00:02:12] And the Chickamagua tribe and the Nickajack

[00:02:16] They kept the watch where the river cut back

[00:02:19] And if a raft or a boat ever rode the bend

[00:02:22] The Indians got 'em

[00:02:24] Cause they had 'em hemmed in

[00:02:28] It took a mighty good man with salty hands

[00:02:32] And a mighty long raft to keep the fore

[00:02:35] Before the act

[00:02:37] You take ten good men and guts and luck

[00:02:41] And you might navigate the whirl and the suck
