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'll be hopin' like a kangaroo When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney I said, listen to me, baby, 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, but I am a cheat and I'm a liar and you're a lovin' ball of fire Honey, 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 boomerangin' 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'm a cheat and I'm a liar but you're a lovin' ball of fire Honey, 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 --- Fast Boat to Sydney - Johnny Cash
