Johnny Cash - Leave That Junk Alone (Alabama 3 Remix)
------------------------------
Key of F, ear-transcribed on ukulele by Neil Killer.
------------------------------
This was tabbed from Alabama 3's remix of "Leave That Junk Alone", which
includes elements of Johnny's original recording and Alabama 3's added verses.
From the highly controversial 2009 album, Johnny Cash Remixed.
------------------------------
Alabama 3's lyrics were difficult to transcribe, but I got them all, save for
one word!
------------------------------
CHORUS:
FLeave that junk alone
FLeave that junk alone
A#Leave that junk alone
And drink Ccool H2FO
VERSE 1:
Well, Fme and a couple of good ol' boys
Took a Ftaxi ride downtown
Were A#checking out a honkytonks
Waiting for the Cman to come arouFnd
FLined up ten tequilas
Lined up a Ftwenty chase of beer
Put the A#(glata???) on the barmaid
Said, "Don't you Cever come back in Fhere!"
CHORUS:
Johnny said,
Drink Fwater, Lord, that liquor is hot, drink Fwater
Please Johnny, just a one more shot
Drink A#water, Lord, that liquor is hot, drink Cwater
Somebody took the Fbottle top off
VERSE 2:
We would Fshoot a bitch our stares
Acutely awFare of the state we was in
Met a A#nun called Mary in a strip joint
Said she'd Cguide us through the city of Fsin
Bought a Fthousand Marlboro Reds
We got a Fquart of Bombay gin
A#Looking for salvation in some Cout-of-town Comfort FInn
Then FJohnny busted down the door
King James FBible in his hand
A#Eyes burning with a rapture
He'd seen the Cangels in the Promised FLand
Well, I could Fhear that train a-comin', Lord
My Fmind was going 'round the bend
The A#good ol' boys put the bottle top on the floor
They'd Cnever touch a drop agFain
BRIDGE:
Johnny said,
Your Feyes are baggy and a bloodshot red
It's been a Fweek or two since you've been in bed
You better A#pay attention now to what I said
You better Cleave that junk alFone and drink water
You Fcome home feeling for the knob on the door
You better Fpick up your feet, you're gonna fall on the floor
I A#keep on telling you, I'll tell you some more
You better Cleave that junk alFone and drink water
Now FI'll forgive you for your running around
If Fyou just promise that you'll come unwound
I'll A#buy you anything you want in town
If you'll Cleave that junk alFone
CHORUS:
FLeave that junk alone (and drink water)
FLeave that junk alone
A#Leave that junk alone (and drink water)
And drink Ccool H2FO
FLeave that junk alone (and drink water)
FLeave that junk alone
A#Leave that junk alone (and drink water)
And drink Ccool CH... 2FO
