Album: Rodeo Waltz [Sugarhill]
(Johnny Cash)
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock and roll feelin' in your bones
Put tapes on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues.
Well, a little shoeshine boy he never gets lowdown
He's got the dirtiest job in town
Bending low at the people's feet
On a windy corner of a dirty street.
Well, I asked him while he shined my shoes
How'd he kept from gettin' the blues
He grinned as he raised his little head
He popped his shoeshine rag and then he said.
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock and roll feelin' in your bones
Put tapes on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues.
Well, I sat and listened to the sunshine boy
And I thought I was gonna jump with joy
He slapped on the shoe polish left and right
He took his shoeshine rag and he held it tight.
He stopped once to wipe the sweat away
I said you mighty little boy to be a workin' that way
He said I like it with a big wide grin
Kept on a poppin' and he'd say it again.
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock and roll feelin' in your bones
Put tapes on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues.
A jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
I'll shake all your troubles from your worried mind.
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock and roll feelin' in your bones
Put tapes on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues....
