Текст песни JOHNNY CASH - Starkville City Jail
<br/>
by Johnny Cash<br /><br />Well, I left my motel room, down at the Starkville Motel,<br />The town had gone to sleep and I was feelin' fairly well.<br />I strolled along the sidewalk 'neath the sweet magnolia trees;<br /><br />I was whistlin', pickin' flowers, swayin' in the southern breeze.<br />( )<br />I found myself surrounded; one policeman said: "That's him.<br />Come along, wild flower child. Don't you know that it's two a.m."<br /><br />They're bound to get you.<br />'Cause they got a curfew.<br />And you go to the Starkville City jail.<br /><br />Well, they threw me in the car and started driving into town;<br />I said: "What the hell did I do?" He said: "Shut up and sit down."<br /><br />Well, they emptied out my pockets, took my pills and guitar picks.<br />I said: "Wait, my name is..." "Awe shut up." Well, I sure was in a fix.<br /><br />The sergeant put me in a cell, then he went home for the night;<br />I said: "Come back here, you so and so; I ain't bein' treated right."<br /><br />Well, they're bound to get you, cause they got a curfew,<br />And you go to the Starkville City Jail.<br /><br />I started pacin' back and forth, and now and then I'd yell,<br />And kick my forty dollar shoes against the steel floor of my cell.<br />I'd walk awhile and kick awhile, and all night nobody came.<br /><br />Then I sadly remembered that they didn't even take my name.<br />At 8 a.m. they let me out. I said: "Gimme them things of mine!"<br />They gave me a sneer and a guitar pick, and a yellow dandelion.<br /><br />They're bound to get you, 'cause they got a curfew,<br />And you go to the Starkville City Jail.<br />
