Chicken in black

For two long years my head hurt badand the doctor checked me and he shook his headhe said I'm sorry to tell you, but you're body's outlived your brain He said I know this doctor in New York, sonand he'll fix you right up with a brand new oneso the head doctor met me when I stepped down off of the train He said we had this bank robber killed last nighthis body's shot, but his brain's all rightI'll give you a transplant, boy, and you'll be okay I got my new brain in and I was feeling great
I went right back to Nashville with no headachebut something strange happened when I walked into a bank one day I said stick 'em up, everybody, I'm robbing this placedrop all of your money in my guitar casedon't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door
A lady said why, you're Johnny Cash!I said no ma'am, I'm the Manhattan Flashand I am the best bank robber in New York Now the other night Roy Acuff called mehe said John, I'd like for you to do the Opryso I went out on the stage, but I couldn't sing I got into half a verse of I walk the lineand something snapped in this head of mineand I said stick 'em up, give me your money, your watches and rings! Well I called New York, talked to that brain quack
I said doctor, I gotta have my old brain backhe said I'm sorry there, mr Cash, but I can't do that He said we put your brain in a chicken last Mondayhe's singing your songs and making lots of moneyand I got him signed up to a ten year recording contract Now friends if you see me walking down the streetremember what you see ain't necessarily meand if I try to hold you up, don't pay me no mind But if you've got ten bucks that you can blowyou ought to catch that Johnny Chicken showhe's doing fairs and concert dates all up and down the line I said stick 'em up, everybody, I'm robbing this placedrop all of your money in my guitar casedon't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door
A lady said why, you're Johnny Cash!I said no ma'am, I'm the Manhattan Flashand I am the best bank robber in New York (Well, I don't pay any income tax...you don't pay tax on money you steal...
You ought to catch that Johnny Chicken show...
