The Ways of a Woman in Love de Johnny Cash

Get Rhythm de Johnny Cash

"Get Rhythm"

Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
Come on, get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones
Put taps on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues

A Little shoeshine boy never gets low down
But he's got the dirtiest job in town
Bendin' low at the peoples' feet
On the windy corner of the dirty street
Well, I asked him while he shined my shoes
How'd he keep from gettin' the blues
He grinned as he raised his little head
Popped a shoeshine rag and then he said

Les Couleurs de l'Homme en Noir

 

Si quelqu’un devait sortir la première biographie en français de Johnny Cash, ce devait être Alain Sanders. Eh bien, c’est chose faite ! Cela s’appelle « Les couleurs de l’homme en noir », publié dans l’excellente collection Go West aux éditions Atelier Fol’Fer.


Au fait, savez vous pourquoi ce surnom et qu’il fût toujours vêtu de noir ? Oui ? Non ? Alors ce livre est pour vous, et si

vous croyez peut être déjà bien connaître l’homme et l’artiste à travers ses chansons, les articles de presse spécialisée ou encore l’excellent film Walk The Line de James Mangold avec Joachim Phoenix dans le rôle de Johnny Cash et Reese Whiterspoon dans celui de June Carter (au sujet du film, je me souviens d’une conversation avec Alain qui me disait : « Oui, c’est un bon film, mais il y a quand même quelques erreurs...»

Highway Patrolman de Johnny Cash

 

My name is Joe Roberts I work for the State

I'm a sergeant out on Perenville barracks No 8

I've always done an honest job honest as I could

Got a brother named Frankie Frankie ain't no good

Ever since we were young kids it's been the same come down

I'd get a call on the short wave Frankie's in trouble downtown

But if it was any other man I'd put him straight away

But sometimes when it's your brother you look the other way

Yeah me and Frankie laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on blood

Takin' turns dancin' with Maria

While the band played The Night Of The Johnstown Flood

I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother should

Man turns his back on his family he ain't no good

Well Frankie went into the army back in 1965

I got a farm deferment settled down took Maria for my wife

But them wheat prices kept on droppin' till it was like we's gettin' robbed

Frankie came home in '68 and me I took this job

Yeah me and Frankie laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on blood

Takin' turns dancin' with Maria

While the band played The Night Of The Johnstown Flood

I catch him when he's strayin' teach him how to walk that line

Man turns his back on his family ain't no friend of mine

The night was like any other I got a call bout the quarter of nine

There was trouble at a roadhouse out on the Michigan line

There was a kid on the floor lookin' bad bleedin' hard from his head

There was a girl cryin' at a table it was Frankie she said

I ran out and I jumped in my car then I hit the lights

I must have done about a hundred and ten to Michigan County that night

It was down by the crossroads out bout willow bank

Seen the buick with Ohio plates behind the wheel was Frank

Well I chased him through them county roads

Till the sign said Canadian border five miles from here

Pulled over the side of the highway ´nd watched his taillights disappeared

Yeah me and Frankie laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on blood

Takin' turns dancin' with Maria

While the band played The Night Of The Johnstown Flood

I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother should

Man turns his back on his family ain't no good
