Austin Prison-Johnny Cash

作词 : J.R. Cash 作曲 : J.R. Cash They had a warrant out for me all over the country And I was trying to beat the raps in IdahoI was breaking into a schoolhouse Sunday morning without warning When I saw the sheriff coming for me slow from down below His steel gray eyes were blazing when he saw me His hand was on his gun when he rode up He said you killed that woman I know you shot her why'd you do it I'm taking you to Austin then I'm gonna lock you up Well he tied me with a plow line the next morning And he had me deep in Texas the next day A crazy screaming lynch mob waited in the streets of AustinBut he put me in the jail house and he threw the key away A jury found me guilty three months later Twelve evil men with murder in their eyes They even took me out And said now show us where you killed her And that wicked judge said Now I here by sentence you to die But here I am far away from Austin prison My friend the jailer handed me a file Now all I want between me And there are a lot of friendly people And miles and miles and miles And miles and miles and miles and miles
