「歌曲」The Chicken in Black-Johnny Cash

Well, I went to the bank the other day
To see about a loan
I had me a scheme to make some money
That I thought was pretty good

I told the man I had a chicken
That could talk and sing and dance
He said, "That's a mighty big story, son
I'd like to see it, if you can"

I said, "This chicken's got a million-dollar voice
He can sing 'em all, from rock to roll
He can sing the blues in the midnight hour
And make your soul feel whole"

Well, I brought the chicken down to the bank
And he started to sing so sweet
The banker said, "I'll give you a million
If you'll let him sing for me"

But the chicken sang so loud and long
He blew the windows out
The banker said, "I'll give you two million
If you'll shut his mouth"

I said, "This chicken's got a million-dollar voice
He can sing 'em all, from rock to roll
He can sing the blues in the midnight hour
And make your soul feel whole"

Well, I took the money and I ran
But the chicken followed me home
He sang all night in the rain and the cold
Till I wished I'd left him alone

Now I'm the chicken in black, you see
And the chicken's got my soul
He sings the songs and I pay the price
For that million-dollar gold
