E For two long years my head hurt bad
So a A doctor checked me an he shook his head
He said B7I'm sorry to tell you
But your body's outlived your brain E
He said I know this doctor in New York, son
And he'll A fix you right up with a brand new one
So the B7head doctor met me
When I stepped down off of the train. E
E He said we had this bank robber killed last night
His A body's shot but his brain's alright
I'll B7give you a transplant, boy
And you'll be OK E
I got my new brain in and I was feelin' great
I went A right back to Nashville with no headache
But something B7strange happened
When I walked in the bank one day. E
CHORUS
I said A stick 'em up ever'body I'm robbin' this place
Drop E all of your money in my guitar case
Don't Anºbody move and don't nobody reach for that B7dºor
A E lady said, why you're Johnny Cash
I said A no ma'am, I'm the Manhattan Flash
And I B7am the best bank robber in New York. E
E Now the other night Roy Acuff called me
He said A John I'd like for you to do the Opry
So I B7went out on the stage, but I couldn't sing E
I got into a half a verse of 'I Walk The Line'
And A something snapped in this head of mine
I yelled B7stick 'em up -
Give me your money, your watches and rings. E
