The Man Who Couldn't Cry

Текст песни JOHNNY CASH - The Man Who Couldn&#039;t Cry <br/> There once was a man who just couldn&#039;t cry<br />He hadn&#039;t cried for years and for years<br />Napalmed babies and the movie love story<br />For instance could not produce tears<br />As a child he had cried as all children will<br />Then at some point his tear ducts ran dry<br />He grew to be a man, the feces hit the fan<br />( )<br />Things got bad, but he couldn&#039;t cry<br /><br />His dog was run over, his wife up and left him<br />And after that he got sacked from his job<br />Lost his arm in the war, was laughed at by a whore<br />Ah, but sill not a sniffle or sob<br /><br />His novel was refused, his movie was panned<br />And his big Broadway show was a flop <br /><br />He got sent off to jail; you guessed it, no bail<br />Oh, but still not a dribble or drop<br /><br />In jail he was beaten, bullied and buggered<br />And made to make license plates<br />Water and bread was all he was fed<br />But not once did a tear stain his face<br /><br />Doctors were called in, scientists, too<br />Theologians were last and practically least <br /><br />They all agreed sure enough; this was sure no cream puff<br />But in fact an insensitive beast<br /><br />He was removed from jail and placed in a place<br />For the insensitive and the insane<br />He played lots of chess and made lots of friends<br />And he wept every time it would rain<br /><br />Once it rained forty days and it rained forty nights<br />And he cried and he cried and he cried and he cried <br /><br />On the forty-first day, he passed away<br />He just dehydrated and died<br /><br />Well, he went up to heaven, located his dog<br />Not only that, but he rejoined his arm<br />Down below, all the critics, they loot it all back<br />Cancer robbed the whore of her charm<br /><br />His ex-wife died of stretch marks, his ex-employer went broke<br />The theologians were finally found out <br /><br />Right down to the ground, that old jail house burned down<br />The earth suffered perpetual drought<br />
