Lyrics and translation Johnny Cash - I Got a Boy and His Name Is John

I Got a Boy and His Name Is John

I got a boy and his name is John
You ought to 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 ought to 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 everyday
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 meet

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

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

I got a boy and his name is John
You ought to see little John tag along
Going where his daddy goes
(Going where his daddy goes, no his mommy)
Learning what his daddy knows
(Learning what his mommy knows, he'd be going with his momma)

I got a boy and his name is John
You ought to see little John tag along
Going where his daddy goes
(Mommy goes)
Learning what his daddy knows

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

His name is John
You ought to see little John tag along
Going where his daddy and mommy goes
Learning what his daddy and mommy knows

J'ai un garçon qui s'appelle John

J'ai un garçon qui s'appelle John
Tu devrais voir le petit John me suivre
Il va là où son papa va
Il apprend ce que son papa sait

On a un garçon qui s'appelle John
Tu devrais voir le petit John me suivre
Il va là où son papa va
Il apprend ce que son papa sait

Il a une amie qui s'appelle Kay
Et Kay va avec lui tous les jours
Je vais amener Kay avec nous
Je vais apprendre cette chanson à Kay

Il a un ami qui s'appelle George
Mais ce n'est pas celui de Valley Forge
Et il n'a jamais été président
Ce n'est pas le George que nous rencontrons

Il a un ami qui s'appelle Gibs
C'est un chien, je sais, mais c'est son ami
Oui, mais c'est un chien, je sais, mais c'est son ami, d'accord

Il a un ami qui s'appelle Gibs
Gibs est tellement gros que tu ne peux pas voir ses côtes
Un chien nommé Sergeant est aussi son ami
Attention, il pourrait te mordre

J'ai un garçon qui s'appelle John
Tu devrais voir le petit John me suivre
Il va là où son papa va
(Il va là où son papa va, non, sa maman)
Il apprend ce que son papa sait
(Il apprend ce que sa maman sait, il irait avec sa maman)

J'ai un garçon qui s'appelle John
Tu devrais voir le petit John me suivre
Il va là où son papa va
(Maman va)
Il apprend ce que son papa sait

J'ai un garçon qui s'appelle John
Tu devrais voir le petit John me suivre
Il va là où son papa et sa maman vont
Il apprend ce que son papa et sa maman savent

Il s'appelle John
Tu devrais voir le petit John me suivre
Il va là où son papa et sa maman vont
Il apprend ce que son papa et sa maman savent
