The Baron - Johnny Cash [00:00:00]

Written by：J. Taylor/B. Sherrill/P. Richey [00:00:00]

Wish I had a known ya[00:00:01]

When you were a little younger[00:00:03]

Around me you might have learned[00:00:06]

A thing or two[00:00:08]

If I had known you longer[00:00:11]

You might be a little stronger[00:00:14]

And maybe you'd shoot straighter[00:00:17]

Then you doooo[00:00:19]

Maybe you'd shoot straighter[00:00:23]

Then you do[00:00:25]

As he walked into the poolroom[00:00:29]

You could tell he didn't fit[00:00:31]

In his handmade boots custom suits[00:00:33]

And pearl handled shooting stick[00:00:36]

Tonight there'd be a showdown[00:00:39]

Then everyone would know[00:00:41]

Who shoots the meanest game around[00:00:44]

The Baron or Billy Joe[00:00:47]

Billy Joe looked edgy[00:00:51]

About to lose his cool[00:00:53]

But the Baron's hands were steady[00:00:55]

As the two began to duel[00:00:58]

Yeah he was like a general[00:01:01]

On a battlefield of slate[00:01:03]

And he'd say to Billy Joe[00:01:06]

Each time he sunk the eight[00:01:08]

He'd say[00:01:10]

Wish I had a known ya[00:01:12]

When you were a little younger[00:01:14]

Around me you might have learned[00:01:17]

A thing or two[00:01:19]

If I had known you longer[00:01:22]

You might be a little stronger[00:01:25]

And maybe you'd shoot straighter[00:01:27]

Then you doooo[00:01:29]

Maybe you'd shoot straighter[00:01:33]

Then you do[00:01:35]

Now Billy Joe was busted[00:01:38]

But he hadn't felt the sting[00:01:40]

And from the far end of the table[00:01:43]

He threw his mother's wedding ring[00:01:45]

And he said you won my money[00:01:48]

But it ain't gonna do the trick[00:01:50]

I'll bet this ring on one more game[00:01:53]

Against your fancy stick[00:01:56]

The Baron's eyes got foggy[00:01:59]

As the ring rolled on the felt[00:02:02]

And he almost doubled over[00:02:04]

Like he had been hit below the belt[00:02:06]

Twenty years ago[00:02:10]

It was the ring his wife had worn[00:02:12]

And he didn't know before he left[00:02:14]

That a son would soon be born[00:02:17]

It sounded just like thunder[00:02:22]

When the baron shot the break[00:02:23]

But it grew thickly quiet[00:02:26]

As he lined up the eight[00:02:28]

Then a warm hand touched his shoulder[00:02:31]

And it chilled him to the bone[00:02:33]

When he turned and saw the woman[00:02:36]

Who had loved him for so long[00:02:39]

The game was never finished[00:02:43]

The eight ball never fell[00:02:45]

The Baron calmly picked it up[00:02:48]

And put it on the shelf[00:02:50]

Then he placed the ring[00:02:52]

In the hands that held him long ago[00:02:54]

And he tossed that fancy shooting stick[00:02:57]

To his son Billy Joe[00:03:00]

And he said[00:03:02]

Wish I had a known ya[00:03:04]

When you were a little younger[00:03:06]

Around me you might have learned[00:03:09]

A thing or two[00:03:11]

If I had known you longer[00:03:14]

You might be a little stronger[00:03:17]

And maybe you'd shoot straighter[00:03:19]

Then you doooo[00:03:21]

Maybe you'd shoot straighter[00:03:25]

Then you do[00:03:29]
