Big River (feat. The Tennessee Two) - Johnny Cash

Hey, get rhythm! When you get the blues! C'mon get rhythm! When you get the blues! Get a rock and roll feeling in your bones Put taps on your toes, and get goin Get rhythm! When you get the blues! A little shoe-shine boy he never gets low-down But he's got the dirtiest job in town! Bending low at the peoples' feet On a windy corner of a dirty street Well, I asked him while she shined my shoes How'd he keep from getting the blues He grinned as he raised his little head He popped a shoe-shine rag, and he said Get rhythm! When you get the blues! C'mon get rhythm! When you get the blues! A jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine It'll shake all your troubles from your worried mind Get rhythm! When you get the blues! Get rhythm! When you get the blues! C'mon get rhythm! When you get the blues! Get a rock and roll feeling in your bones Put taps on your toes, and get goin Get rhythm! When you get the blues! Well, I had to listen to the shoe-shine boy And I thought I was gonna jump for joy! Slapped on the shoe polish left and right He took a shoe-shine rag and he held it tight He stopped once to wipe the sweat away I said, you're a mighty little boy to be a-workin' that way! He said I like it, with a big wide grin Kept on a-poppin' and he said again Get rhythm! When you get the blues! C'mon get rhythm! When you get the blues! It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe It does a million dollars worth of good for you Get rhythm! When you get the blues!

Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down I think you only live to see the lights of town I wasted my time when I would try, try, try 'Cause when the lights have lost their glow you'll cry, cry, cry Soon your sugar-daddies will all be gone You wake up some cold day and find you're alone You'll call for me but I'm gonna tell you bye, bye, bye When I turn around and walk away you'll cry, cry, cry You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own You're gonna cry, cry, cry I lie awake at night to wait till you come in You stay a little while and then you're gone again Every question that I ask I get a lie, lie, lie For every lie you tell you're gonna cry, cry, cry When your fickle love gets old, no one will care for you Then you'll come back for me for a little love that's true I'll tell you no and you're gonna ask me why, why, why When I remind you of all of this you'll cry, cry, cry You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll want me then It'll hurt when you think of all the fool you've been You're gonna cry, cry, cry

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time I keep the ends out for the tie that binds Because you're mine, I walk the line I find it very, very easy to be true I find myself alone when each day is through Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you Because you're mine, I walk the line As sure as night is dark and day is light I keep you on my mind both day and night And happiness I've known proves that it's right Because you're mine, I walk the line You've got a way to keep me on your side You give me cause for love that I can't hide For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide Because you're mine, I walk the line I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time I keep the ends out for the tie that binds Because you're mine, I walk the line

I found him by the railroad track this morning I could see that he was nearly dead I knelt down beside him and I listened Just to hear the words the dying fellow said He said, "They let me out of prison out in Frisco For ten long years, I've paid for what I've done I was trying to get back to Louisiana To see my Rose and get to know my son" Give my love to Rose please, won't you mister? Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes Tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him And don't forget to give my love to Rose Won't you tell them, I said thanks for waitin' for me Tell my boy to help his mom at home Tell my Rose to try to find another 'Cause it ain't right that she should live alone Mister, here's a bag with all my money It won't last them long the way it goes God bless you for findin' me this morning Now don't forget to give my love to Rose Give my love to Rose please, won't you mister? Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes Tell my boy that daddy's so proud of him And don't forget to give my love to Rose

I do my best to hide this lowdown feelin' I try to make believe there's nothing wrong But they're always asking me about you darling And it hurts me so to tell 'em that you're gone If they ask me I guess I'd be denyin' That I've been unhappy all alone But if they heard my heart they'd hear it cryin' Where's my darling, when's she coming home I ask myself a million times what's right for me to do To try to lose my blues alone or hang around for you But I make it pretty good until that moon comes shining through And that I get so doggone lonesome Time stands still when you're a waitin' Sometimes I think my heart is stoppin' too One lonely hour seems forever Sixty minutes more to wait for you But I guess I'll keep waitin' till you're with me Cause I believe that loving you is right But I don't care if the sun don't rise tomorrow If I can't have you with me tonight Well I know I'll keep on loving you Cause true love can't be killed I ought to get you off of my mind But I guess I never will I could have a dozen others But I know I'd love you still Cause I get so doggone lonesome

I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river And I'm gonna sit right here until I die I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl Then I heard my dream was back downstream cavortin' in Davenport And I followed you, big river, when she called Oh, she took me to St. Louis later on, down the river A freighter said she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone An' I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block Raised a few eyebrows, and went on down alone Well, I pulled into Natchez, next day down the river But there wasn't much there to make the rounders stay very long When I left, it was raining, so nobody saw me crying Big river, why she buried me this way? Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge? River Queen, roll it on Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans Go on, I've had enough Dump my blues down in the gulf She loves you, big river, more than me I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Startin' from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living See, my old man's got a problem He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his Mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said, "somebody's got to take care of him" So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? Still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job So I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way
