Fast Boat To Sydney
Johnny Cash
[Intro] [Chorus] (John) (June) (John)E A I’ll leave you like a bum without a penny (June) E (John) A And while I’m home with the blues I’ll be hopin’ like a kangaroo When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney [Verse 1] (John) A E I said listen to me baby I gave up the lovin’ trade I’m tired of all this runnin’ jumpin’ playin’ (June) E But you’re like it down under the world with the Australian girls And there’s not a word of truth in what you’re sayin’ [Chorus] (John) (June) (John) E A Honey I’ll leave you like a bum without a penny (June) E (John) A And while I’m home with the blues I’ll be hopin’ like a kangaroo When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney [Solo] E A x4 [Verse 2] A (John) E This is my greatest act I’ve come boomerangin’ back Grinnin’ like a Rudolf Valentino (June) E But then you grab your travel load like a swingin’ grimmin’ dog And hopped on that fast boat to Sydney [Chorus] (John) (June) (John) E A Honey I’ll leave you like a bum without a penny (June) E (John) A And while I’m home with the blues I’ll be hopin’ like a kangaroo When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney [Outro]
