Lyrics Johnny Cash – Fast Boat To Sydney

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 said listen to me babe
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 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

This is my greatest act
I’ve come boom a rangin’ 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 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
