One Of These Days I'm Gonna Sit Down And Talk To Paul

Johnny Cash · Other Songs - Johnny Cash

One of these days I'm gonna sit down and talk to Paul

One of these days I'm gonna sit down and talk to Paul

I'm gonna ask him about his travelin'

And he will tell me about it all

One of these days I'm gonna sit down and talk to Paul



I'm gonna tell him I read all his books

I'm gonna tell him I read all his books

And that is sure was hard to follow down the same road that he took

But I'm gonna tell him I read all his books



He'll introduce me to Luke and Timothy

He will introduce me to Luke and Timothy

I will be so glad to meet them and they will be glad to meet me

He will introduce me to Luke and Timothy



One of these days I'm gonna sit down and talk to Paul

(Talk to Paul)

One of these days I'm gonna sit down and talk to

Sit down and talk to Paul

I'm gonna meet his friends in Heaven

I'll be singin' with them all

One of these days I'm gonna sit down and talk to Paul



One of these days I'm gonna shake that healing hand

One of these days I'm gonna shake that healing hand

That hand that raised up Uticus, that old sleepin', fallen man

One of these days I'm gonna shake that healing hand



I know just how he felt locked in that jail

I know just how he felt locked in that jail

And I bet that him and Silas will have quite a tale to tell

I know just how he felt locked in that jail



One of these days I'm gonna sit down and

Sit down and talk to Paul

One of these days I'm gonna sit down and talk to

Sit down and talk to Paul

I'm gonna ask him about his journeys

And he will tell me about them all

One of these days I'm gonna sit down and talk to

Sit down and talk to Paul

One Of These Days I'm Gonna Sit Down And Talk To Paul

Recorded by Johnny Cash, this track stands as a poignant reflection on the complexities of friendship and the inevitable friction that arises between close companions. The song captures Cash's signature storytelling ability, exploring the tension between loyalty and the need for honest communication. Released during a period where Cash was navigating the intersection of his religious faith and his secular fame, the recording embodies the introspective nature of his later work. It serves as a reminder that even the strongest bonds require open dialogue to survive, a theme resonant throughout his extensive catalogue of folk and country music. The song remains a testament to Cash's skill in translating personal sentiment into universal musical expression.
