The Color Of Love

(album: Johnny Cash And His Woman - 1973)

Well I used think the color of love would be a
Rosy red or a pretty pink And I thought it would
Be a thirsty man crawling home to get a big old
Drink And I thought love was spelled like a bell
B-E-double L bell that you ring Stead of wham bam
Hit your man with a pan Hit him on the head hear
The birdies sing

Oh you heart breaking love making cut
Me-a-piece-of-bacon man of mine And you money
Shifting flour sifting nose lifting rose of woman
Kind Just keep on doing what you're doing what
You're doing suits me just fine And love I tell
You something else you blow my mind

Well I used to think the color of love would be a
Soft green like a pea in a pod And I thought love
Would strike like a light flashing down a big old
Lightning rod And I thought love was spelled
W-E-double L well that would never run dry Stead
Of choke choke I'm so broke and dry I can't afford
A little bitty tear to cry

Oh you money turning egg churning butter burning
Baby of mine You half crazy lean and lazy pretty
As a wilted daisy man of mine Just keep on
Doing... You blow my mind you blow my mind you
Blow my mind you blow my mind
