Текст песни The Ghost of Johnny Cash - Devil Never Sleeps
I'll have to hap a freight train
I rather rails from where I am
To the Gulf of Mexico, the Muscle Shoals, Alabama
A felon Benton grave, condemned to walk a branded man
30 years of hard time
They'll cut you loose and set you free
There's bound to be a price for
Every promise you don't keep
I paid mine in that hellhole
Where the devil never sleeps
The warden said to me, "Boy, we're sympathetic to your cause"
As they measured me for my long pine box
And for that ball and chain, skin tight around the clock
A prisoner sees his dreams
In the shape of a key
I saw mine from that hole
Folded hands on bended knees
Where there is no forgiveness
Nor honor among thieves
Bad news come in threes
To no good lion killing thieves
Just one more branded man
With the mark of the beast
30 years of hard time
They'll cut you loose and set you free
There's bound to be a price for
Every promise you don't keep
I paid mine in that hellhole
Where the devil never sleeps
Wailing and gnashing of teeth
Where the devil never sleeps
