For two long years my head hurt bad

So a doctor checked me and he shook his head

He said I'm sorry to tell you but your 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 alright

I'll give you a transplant boy and you'll be OK

I got my new brain in and I was feelin' great

I went right back to Nashville with no headache

But something strange happened

when I walked in the bank one day

I said stick 'em up everybody I'm robbin' 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 a half a verse of I Walk The Line

And something snapped in this head of mine

I yelled Stick 'em up Give me your money

your watches and rings

Well I called New York and talked to that brain quack

And said Doc I gotta have my old brain back

He said I'm sorry there Mr Cash but I can't do that

He said I put your brain in a chicken last Monday

He's singing your songs and makin' lots of money

And I got him signed to a ten-year recording contract

Now friends if you see me walkin' 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 when you got ten bucks that you can blow

You oughta catch that Johnny Chicken show

He's doin' fairs and concert dates all up and down the line

I said stick 'em up everybody I'm robbin' 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 oughta catch that Johnny Chicken show

Chicken In Black

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
