Karaoke Track: Man In Black by Johnny Cash (Chart Buster) - Karaoke Nerds

WELL YOU WONDER WHY
I'M ALWAYS DRESSED
IN BLACK

AND WHY DOES MY
APPEARANCE SEEM TO
HAVE A BOMBER TONE

WELL THERE'S A REASON
FOR THE THINGS THAT
I HAVE 0N

I WEAR THE BLACK
FOR THE POOR
AND THE BEATEN DOWN
LIVIN' IN THE HOPELESS
HUNGRY SIDE OF TOWN

I WEAR IT FOR THE
PRISONER WHO HAS
LONG PAID FOR HIS CRIME
BUT IS THERE BECAUSE
HE'S A VICTIM
OF THE TIMES

I WEAR THE BLACK
FOR THOSE WHD'VE
NEVER READ
0R LISTENED TO
THE WORDS THAT
JESUS SAID

ABOUT THE ROAD
TO HAPPINESS
THROUGH LOVE
AND CHARITY
WHY YOU'D THINK
HE'S TALKING STRAIGHT
TO YOU AND ME

WELL WE'RE DDIN'
MIGHTY FINE
I DO SUPPOSE
IN OUR STREAK 0F
LIGHTNIN' CARS
AND FANCY CLOTHES

BUT JUST SO
WERE REMINDED
OF THE ONES WHO ARE
HELD BACK
UP FRONT THERE OUGHTA

BE A MAN IN BLACK

AND I WEAR IT
FOR THE SICK
AND LONELY OLD
FOR THE RECKLESS ONES
WHOSE BAD TRIP
LEFT THEM COLD

AND I WEAR IT FOR
THE THOUSANDS
WHO HAVE DIED
BELIEVING THAT
THE LORD WAS

ON THEIR SIDE

I WEAR IT FOR ANOTHER
HUNDRED THOUSAND
WHO HAVE DIED
BELIEVING THAT WE ALL
WERE ON THEIR SIDE

WELL THERE'S THINGS
THAT NEVER
WILL BE RIGHT
I KNOW
AND THINGS
NEED CHANGING
EVERYWHERE YOU GO

BUT TILL WE START
TO MAKE A MOVE
TO MAKE
A FEW THINGS RIGHT
YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME
WEAR A SUIT 0F WHITE

0H I'D LOVE TO WEAR
A RAINBOW EVERY DAY
AND TELL THE WORLD
THAT EVERYTHINGB
OKAY

BUT I'LL TRY TO
CARRY OFF
A LITTLE DARKNESS
ON MY BACK
'TIL THINGS ARE
BRIGHTER
I'M THE MAN IN BLACK
