JOHNNY 99

JOHNNY CASH

Tonalité :

Well they c losed down the auto plant in Mahwah late last month

Ralph went out lookin' for a job but he couldn't find n one

He came h ome too drunk from mixin' Tanqueray and wine

He got a gun shot a night clerk now t hey call him Johnny 9 9

Dawn in th at part of town where when you hit red light you don't stop

Johnny's wavin' his gun around and threatin' to blow his t op

When an o ff duty cop snuck up on him on from behind

Out in front of the club Tip Top they slapped the cuffs on Johnny 9 9

Well the city s upplied a public defender but the j udge was mean John Brown

He came into the courtroom and stared poor Johnny d own

Well the e vidence is clear gonna let the sentence fit the crime

Prison for 98 and a year will make it e ven Johnny 9 9

A fist f ight broke out in the courtroom they had to d rag Johnny's girl away

His mama stood up and shouted judge don't take my boy this w ay

Well son you g ot any statement you'd like to make

Before the bailiff comes to f orever take you a way

Yes j udge I got debts no honest m an could pay

The bank was holdin' my mortgage they was takin' my house a way

Now I ain't s ayin' that makes me an innocent man

But it was more than all this t hat put that gun in my h and

And your honor I d o believe I'd be b etter off dead

If you can take a man's life for the thoughts that are in his h ead

Then won't y ou sit back in that chair and think it over one more time

And let 'em shave off my hair and b urn Johnny 9 9
