Johnny Cash: Hey, glad to see you, buddy. Glad to see you. You got tuned up there? I got a singing welcome for you
Jack: There, I’m tuned up
Ramblin’ Jack, Ramblin’ Jack
I sure am glad that you could ramble back
Well, my boots are dusty and my heads a mess
I just flew in from the west
Well, I was talkin bout you and somebody said
I believe Ramblin’ Jack’s dead
Well, that somebody must’ve been crazy as hell
Cause you’d be the first guy I’d tell
Well strap your self into gear a G, bubba, and sing a song with me
Take me home
My heart is heavy and my feet are sorе
Take me home
I don’t wanna roam no morе
Cash: Sing it, Jack!
Well I been from Boston to L.A
Seen Boulder Dam and Frisco Bay
New York and Washington
I seen Montreal and Saskatchewan
Been to Rhode Island
And I worked in three all night service stations
And I drove a truck
Why don’t you take me home
My heart is heavy and my feet are sore
Take me home
I don’t wanna roam no more
Well I slept all night in a water trough
Had the flu and the croup and the whoopin cough
I had the mumps and the measles and the seven year itch
And I cain’t count the times I had a cold and a sour throat
Not to mention every time I cut my finger on a sardine can
Why don’t you take me home
My heart is heavy and my feet are sore
Take me home
I don’t wanna roam no more
Cash: Sing it, Jack
Well I can see em all now
Just a gatherin round
Mama’s supper table
When the sun goes down
And my good old pappy
When the blessings said
Fillin up his plate
With black-eyed peas and all that stuff
And a side of meat!
And a great big helping
Of my dear sweet momma’s hot buttered cornbread
Why don’t you take me home
My heart is heavy and my feet are sore
Take me home
I don’t wanna roam no more
I don’t wanna roam no more
I don’t wanna roam no more
