Artist/Band: Johnny Cash
Lyrics for Song: I Got A Boy (And His Name Is John)
Lyrics for Album: The Johnny Cash Children's Album [1975]



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


I Got A Boy (And His Name Is John)

Johnny Cash's 1975 recording "I Got A Boy (And His Name Is John)" appears on The Johnny Cash Children's Album, a project that showcased the Man in Black's ability to connect with younger audiences. While Cash is widely celebrated for his deep, resonant voice in country and folk traditions, this work highlights his versatility in children's music. The track serves as a playful introduction to the artist himself, blending his signature storytelling style with a lighthearted narrative suitable for family listening. This album represents a distinct chapter in his extensive discography, offering a softer, more whimsical side to his catalog. The song remains a charming example of how Cash adapted his powerful vocal presence to engage listeners of all ages during the mid-1970s.
