《City Jail(Live at sterker Prison， Sweden - October 1972)》歌词

[00:00:01] City Jail - Johnny Cash

[00:00:07] City jail city jail like an old scared dog I tuck my tail

[00:00:14] Bow my head and not a careless word is said

[00:00:18] Gotta sleep on the floor once more at city jail

[00:00:23] Well I was hangin' round the bus station

[00:00:27] Mindin' my own business like I always do

[00:00:32] When I saw this waitress in this bus station cafe

[00:00:36] And I thought I check out the action like I always do

[00:00:42] I'd give her the bad eye

[00:00:43] And made a few choices personal comments

[00:00:45] About what I thought mine

[00:00:47] And her possibilities could be for a team

[00:00:50] When she called the badge on me

[00:00:53] The badge grabbed me by the arm and he said

[00:00:56] What are you doin' hangin' around here for

[00:00:59] And I said for whatever's goin' around

[00:01:06] City jail city jail like an old scared dog I tuck my tail

[00:01:14] Bow my head and not a careless word is said

[00:01:18] Gotta sleep on the floor once more at city jail

[00:01:22] He said no what I mean is what are you doin'

[00:01:26] Sayin' things like that to that lady

[00:01:29] And I said what's that lady's doin' with purple hair

[00:01:35] Well the badge said you're smart alec

[00:01:40] And I said no I ain't I'm just hungry

[00:01:43] And he said you're actin' like a smart alec

[00:01:47] And I said no that's how I act when I get hungry

[00:01:50] City jail city jail like an old scared dog I tuck my tail

[00:01:58] Bow my head and not a careless word is said

[00:02:02] Gotta sleep on the floor once more at city jail

[00:02:07] Well he put me outside in a dark corner

[00:02:10] And before you could say hypocrite he hit me on the head

[00:02:14] And I said oooh don't hit me on the head

[00:02:18] I can't protect myself with the handcuffs on

[00:02:21] Please don't hit me on the head then he hit me again

[00:02:24] He hit me again he hit me again

[00:02:25] And I said oh oh oh oh oh

[00:02:28] Please don't stand on my feet when you hit me

[00:02:31] I break my ankles when I fall

[00:02:34] City jail city jail like an old scared dog I tuck my tail

[00:02:42] Bow my head and not a careless word is said

[00:02:46] Gotta sleep on the floor once more at city jail

[00:02:49] Well about that time they threw me in the wagon

[00:02:52] And that waitress walked out with a sailor

[00:03:00] To the purple people eater
