The Whirl and the Suck - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

It took a mighty good man with salty hands[00:00:27]

And a mighty long raft[00:00:31]

To keep the fore before the act[00:00:33]

You take ten good men and guts and luck[00:00:37]

And you might navigate the whirl and the suck[00:00:40]

Well the Tennessee River changed its mind[00:00:47]

At Chattanooga she oughta unwind[00:00:51]

She could a run right on the Georgia Sea[00:00:54]

But she cut right back through Tennessee[00:00:57]

Well the settlers come by raft[00:01:03]

And boat bringin' everything[00:01:06]

That could stay a float[00:01:09]

But like a loco horse that'll twist and buck[00:01:10]

They hardly ever made it[00:01:14]

Through the whirl and the suck[00:01:15]

It took a mighty good man with salty hands[00:01:20]

And a mighty long raft to[00:01:23]

Keep the fore before the act[00:01:26]

You take ten good men and guts and luck[00:01:29]

And you might navigate the whirl and the suck[00:01:32]

When General Washington was[00:02:05]

In his knicker bocks[00:02:07]

The Cherokee Indians[00:02:09]

Through the Chattanooga Rocks[00:02:10]

And the Chickamagua tribe and the Nickajack[00:02:12]

They kept the watch where the river cut back[00:02:16]

And if a raft or a boat ever rode the bend[00:02:19]

The Indians got 'em[00:02:22]

Cause they had 'em hemmed in[00:02:24]

It took a mighty good man with salty hands[00:02:28]

And a mighty long raft to keep the fore[00:02:32]

Before the act[00:02:35]

You take ten good men and guts and luck[00:02:37]

And you might navigate the whirl and the suck[00:02:41]
