Fast Boat To Sydney Lyrics - Johnny Cash

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
