the color of love

Singer:johnny cash

well i used think the color of love would be a

rosy red or a pretty pink and i thought it would

be a thirsty man crawlin' home to get a big old

drink and i thought love was spelled like a bell

b-e-double l bell that you ring stead of wham bam

hit your man with a pan hit him on the head hear

the birdies sing

oh you heart breakin' love makin' cut

me-a-piece-of-bacon man of mine and you money

shiftin' flour siftin' nose liftin' rose of woman

kind just keep on doin' what you're doin' what

you're doin' suits me just fine and love i tell

you somethin' else you blow my mind

well i used to think the color of love would be a

soft green like a pea in a pod and i thought love

would strike like a light flashin' down a big old

lightnin' rod and i thought love was spelled

w-e-double l well that would never run dry stead

of choke choke i'm so broke and dry i can't afford

a little bitty tear to cry

oh you money turnin' egg churnin' butter burnin'

baby of mine you half crazy lean and lazy pretty

as a wilted daisy man of mine just keep on

doin'. you blow my mind you blow my mind you

blow my mind you blow my mind
