Long Legged Guitar Pickin' Man
Johnny Cash Feat. June Carter Lyrics

Well I'm gonna start out walkin'
I am going to go on a journey on foot.

Just you wait and see
Wait and see what happens.

Uh-huh guitar picker
Agreeing with the guitar player.

You ain't leavin' without me
The artist will not be left behind.

Oh you big mouth woman
The addressee is being called out for their loudness.

You long legged guitar pickin' man
The addressee is being called out for playing the guitar while being tall.

But we can work this out uh huh
The singer believes that the issue at hand can be resolved.

Yes ma'm I think we can
The artist is sure that the issue at hand can be resolved.

Well I stole the Hope diamond
The artist took the Hope diamond without permission.

Hopin' I could shut your mouth
The artist hoped that taking the diamond would be enough to stop the addressee from being loud.

But how am I gonna wear it
The singer is unsure how to wear the diamond.

If I got to hide it out
The artist cannot wear the diamond openly because it was taken without permission.

Well I bought you a first class ticket
The singer purchased a first class ticket for the addressee.

For a luxury liner cruise
The ticket was for a high-end cruise ship voyage.

I got out in that ocean
The singer went out into the open sea.

looked around and there was you
The addressee was also on the boat.

I bought you a big long limousine
The artist purchased a large limousine for the addressee.

But I don't want no car
The singer did not want a car in return.

I gave my love and everything
The singer gave their love and all their possessions.

But you're still what you are
Despite the gifts, the addressee remained the same.

You're just a big mouth woman
The addressee is being called out for their loudness.

You long legged guitar pickin' man
The addressee is being called out for playing the guitar while being tall.

But we can work this out uh huh
The singer believes that the issue at hand can be resolved.

Yes ma'm I think we can
The artist is sure that the issue at hand can be resolved.

Oh honey I love that big sweet mouth

You a long legged guitar pickin' man

Ha ha I'm gonna pick it for you

Now you a nice guitar pickin' man
The addressee is now being called a nice guitar player.
