Chicken In Black Letra

For two long years my head hurt bad and the doctor checked me and he shook his head he said I'm sorry to tell you, but you're body's outlived your brain He said I know this doctor in New York, son and he'll fix you right up with a brand new one so the head doctor met me when I stepped down off of the train He said we had this bank robber killed last night his body's shot, but his brain's all right I'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 headache but something strange happened when I walked into a bank one day I said stick 'em up, everybody, I'm robbing this place drop all of your money in my guitar case don'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 Flash and I am the best bank robber in New York Now the other night Roy Acuff called me he said John, I'd like for you to do the Opry so I went out on the stage, but I couldn't sing I got into half a verse of I walk the line and something snapped in this head of mine and 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 back he said I'm sorry there, mr Cash, but I can't do that He said we put your brain in a chicken last Monday he's singing your songs and making lots of money and I got him signed up to a ten year recording contract Now friends if you see me walking down the street remember what you see ain't necessarily me and if I try to hold you up, don't pay me no mind But if you've got ten bucks that you can blow you ought to catch that Johnny Chicken show he's doing fairs and concert dates all up and down the line I said stick 'em up, everybody, I'm robbing this place drop all of your money in my guitar case don'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 Flash and 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... Chicken in black...mmm...)
