World And The Suck
Johnny Cash
Ton : A
IAt took a mighty good man with salty hands
And a mighEty long raft to keep the fore before the aft
You take ten good men and guAts and luck
And you migEht navigate the whiArl and the suck
Well the TenneAssee River changed its mind At Chattanooga she oughEta unwind
She couAld a run right on the Georgia Sea
But she cut right back through TennEessee
Well thAe settlers come by raft
And boat bringin' everything that could staEy a float
But likAe a loco horse that'll twist and buck
They hardly ever made it through the whiErl and the suAck
IAt took a mighty good man with salty hands
And a mighEty long raft to keep the fore before the aft
You take ten good men and guAts and luck
And you migEht navigate the whiArl and the suck
General WashinAgton was in his knicker bocks
The Cherokee Indians through the ChattaEnooga Rocks
And the ChickaAmagua tribe and the Nickajack
They kept the watch where the rivEer cut bacAk
And if a raft or a boat ever rodAe the bend
The Indians got 'em cause they haEd 'em hemmed inA
IAt took a mighty good man with salty hands
And a mighEty long raft to keep the fore before the aft
You take ten good men and guAts and luck
And you migEht navigate the whiArl and the suck
