I Got A Boy And His Name Is John

(With June Carter Cash)

I got a boy and his name is John
You oughta see little John tag along
Going where his daddy goes
Learning what his daddy knows

We got a boy and his name is John
You oughta see little John tag along
Going where his daddy goes
Learning what his daddy knows

He's got a friend and her name is Kay
And Kay goes with him every day
Gonna take Kay along
Gonna teach Kay this song

He's got a friend and his name is George
But he's not the one from Valley Forge
And he's never been President
That ain't the George we meant

He's got a friend and his name is Gives
It's, it's a dog
I know but he's his friend
Yeah, I know but it's a dog
I know but he's his friend
Okay

He's got a friend and his name is Gives
Gives is so fat you can't see his ribs
A dog named Sergeant too
He's his friend
Watch out he might bite you

I got a boy and his name is John
You oughta see little John tag along
Going where his daddy goes
And his mommie goes
Learning what his daddy knows
And his mommie knows
He will pick corn with his mama

I got a boy and his name is John
You oughta see little John tag along
Going where his daddy goes
Mommie goes
Learning what his daddy knows

Okay he'd go with both of us
You can go with me
And he can go with us
That'll be nice
Okay, baby
Together

I got a boy and his name is John
You oughta see little John tag along
Going where his daddy and mommie goes
Learning what his daddy and mommie knows

Haha, haha
Just as long as he goes

I got a boy and his name is John
You oughta see little John tag along
Going where his daddy and mommie goes
Learning what his daddy and mommie knows
