Lyrics:
OOh Ah Ooh, Ooh, Ah Ooh!
I’m a cowboy in the computer age
Trying to walk the line
Drinking my way to a cave on the hill
Got a personal Jesus this time
I met a boy named Sue
I punched him too
I walked right through the mighty ring of fire
And all my deals went to the wire
I’ve got the Johnny cash blues – how do you do
I’ve got the Johnny cash blues-how do you do?
I’m an outlaw in this real estate town
And I’ve been everywhere
When the hurt is through the man comes around
you know I’m going to be right there
So all you rambling gambling boys
Ghost riders and ladies of Jackson
It’s that orange blossom special !
Steamin’ right out of out of Folsom
I’ve got the Johnny cash blues – how do you do
I’ve got the Johnny cash blues HOW DO YOU DO!
I met a boy named sue
I punched him too
I walked right through the mighty ring of fire
And all my deals went to the wire
So all you rambling gambling boys
Ghost riders and ladies of Jackson
It’s that orange blossom special !
Steamin’ right out of out of Folsom
I’ve got the Johnny cash blues – how do you do
I’ve got the Johnny cash blues HOW DO YOU DO!
I’ve got the Johnny cash blues – how do you do
I’ve got the Johnny cash blues HOW DO YOU DO!
OOh Ah Ooh, Ooh, Ah Ooh! OOh Ah Ooh, Ooh, Ah Ooh!
The Orange Blossom Special (Woooooooh). I can´t help feeling that punching a boy named Sue is probably a crime against the trans community
Great , loved it !
This is different, but for me the two voices don’t work well together.
Always good to see a live performance. A fitting tribute
Intriguing number. Would love to hear a studio produced treatment. 🙂
