I Got a Boy (And His Name Is John) [with June Carter Cash]

January 01, 1975

Lyrics

I got a boy and his name is John you oughta see little John tag along
Goin’ where his daddy goes learnin’ what his daddy knows

We got a boy and his name is John you oughta see little John tag along
Goin’ where his daddy goes learnin’ 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
Goin’ where his daddy goes (and his mommie)
Learnin’ what his daddy (and his mommie) knows
(He will pick corn with his mama)
I got a boy
(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
