Ballad Of Barbara - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]
In a southern town where I was born[00:00:05]
That's where I got my education[00:00:10]
I worked in the fields and I walked in the woods[00:00:15]
And I wondered at creation [00:00:19]
I recall the sun in a sky of blue[00:00:24]
And the smell of green things growin'[00:00:29]
And the seasons chang'd and I lived each day[00:00:34]
Just the way the wind was blowin' [00:00:41]
Then I heard of a cultured city life[00:00:43]
Breath takin' lofty steeples[00:00:48]
And the day I called myself a man[00:00:52]
I left my land and my people [00:00:57]
And I rambled north and I rambled east[00:01:04]
And I tested and I tasted[00:01:09]
And a girl or two took me round and round[00:01:13]
But they always left me wasted [00:01:18]
In a world that's all concrete and steel[00:01:23]
With nothin' green ever growin'[00:01:27]
Where the buildings hide the risin' sun[00:01:31]
And they blocked the free winds from blowin [00:01:36]
Where you sleep all day and you wake all night[00:01:41]
To a world of drink and laughter[00:01:45]
I met that girl that I was sure would be[00:01:50]
The one that I was after [00:01:54]
In a soft blue gown and formal tux[00:02:01]
Beneath that lofty steeple[00:02:06]
He said "Do you Barbara take this man [00:02:10]
Will you be one of his people "[00:02:15]
And she said "I will " and she said "I do "[00:02:19]
And the world looked mighty pretty[00:02:24]
And we lived in a fancy downtown flat[00:02:29]
'Cause she loved the noisy city [00:02:34]
But the days grew cold beneath a yellow sky[00:02:39]
And I longed for green things growin'[00:02:43]
And the thoughts of home and the people there[00:02:48]
But she'd not agreed to goin' [00:02:52]
Then her hazel eyes turned away from me[00:03:02]
With a look that wasn't pretty[00:03:06]
And she turned into concrete and steel[00:03:10]
And she said "I'll take the city "[00:03:15]
Now the cars go by on the interstate[00:03:22]
And my pack is on my shoulder[00:03:26]
But I'm goin' home where I belong[00:03:30]
Much wiser now and older[00:03:35]
