Johnny 99 - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

Well they closed down[00:00:13]

The auto plant in Mahwah late last month[00:00:14]

Ralph went out lookin' for a job[00:00:19]

But he couldn't find none[00:00:21]

He came home too drunk from mixin'[00:00:26]

Tanqueray and wine[00:00:28]

He got a gun shot a night clerk now[00:00:32]

They call him Johnny 99[00:00:35]

Dawn in that part of town[00:00:38]

Where when you hit red light you don't stop[00:00:40]

Johnny's wavin' his gun around[00:00:45]

And threatin' to blow his top[00:00:47]

When an off duty cop snuck up on him on from behind[00:00:51]

Out in front of the club[00:00:58]

Tip Top they slapped the cuffs on Johnny 99[00:00:59]

Well the city suplied a public defender[00:01:04]

But the judge was mean John Brown[00:01:07]

He came into the courtroom[00:01:11]

And stared poor Johnny down[00:01:14]

Well the evidence is clear gonna[00:01:19]

Let the sentence fit the crime[00:01:20]

Prison for 98 and a year will make it even Johnny 99[00:01:25]

A fist fight broke out in the courtroom[00:01:57]

They had to drag Johnny's girl away[00:02:01]

His mama stood up[00:02:04]

And shouted judge don't take my boy this way[00:02:05]

Well son you got any statement you'd like to make[00:02:12]

Before the bailiff comes to forever take you away[00:02:18]

Yes your judge I got debts no honest man could pay[00:02:25]

The bank was holdin' my mortgage[00:02:31]

They was takin' my house away[00:02:33]

Now I ain't sayin' that makes me an innocent man[00:02:38]

But it was more than all this[00:02:44]

That put that gun in my hand[00:02:46]

And your honor I do believe I'd be better off dead[00:02:50]

If you can take a man's life for[00:02:57]

The thoughts that are in his head[00:02:59]

Then won't you sit back in[00:03:03]

That chair and think it over one more time[00:03:05]

And let 'em shave off my hair and burn Johnny 99[00:03:09]
