Johnny Cash Fast Boat To Sydney Lyrics

Fast Boat To Sydney Lyrics

Oh, I am a cheat and I'm a liar, oh, but you're a lovin' ball of fire

I'll leave you like a bum without a penny

And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo

When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney



I said, listen to me, baby, I gave up the lovin' trade

I'm tired of all this runnin', jumpin', playin'

But you're like it down under the world with the Australian girls

And there's not a word of truth in what you're sayin'



Oh, but I am a cheat and I'm a liar and you're a lovin' ball of fire

Honey, I'll leave you like a bum without a penny

And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo

When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney



This is my greatest act, I've come boomerangin' back

Grinnin' like a Rudolf Valentino

But then you grab your travel load like a swingin' grimmin' dog

And hopped on that fast boat to Sydney



'Cause I'm a cheat and I'm a liar but you're a lovin' ball of fire

Honey, I'll leave you like a bum without a penny

And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo

When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney
