Johnny Cash - The Man Who Couldn't Cry Lyrics
There once was a man who just couldn't cry
He hadn't cried for years and for years
Napalmed babies and the movie love story
For instance could not produce tears
As a child he had cried as all children will
He grew to be a man, the feces hit the fan
Things got bad, but he couldn't cry
His dog was run over, his wife up and left him
And after that he got sacked from his job
Lost his arm in the war, was laughed at by a whore
Ah, but sill not a sniffle or sob
His novel was refused, his movie was panned
And his big Broadway show was a flop
He got sent off to jail; you guessed it, no bail
Oh, but still not a dribble or drop
In jail he was beaten, bullied and buggered
And made to make license plates
Water and bread was all he was fed
But not once did a tear stain his face
Doctors were called in, scientists, too
Theologians were last and practically least
They all agreed sure enough; this was sure no cream puff
But in fact an insensitive beast
He was removed from jail and placed in a place
For the insensitive and the insane
He played lots of chess and made lots of friends
And he wept every time it would rain
Once it rained forty days and it rained forty nights
And he cried and he cried and he cried and he cried
On the forty-first day, he passed away
He just dehydrated and died
Well, he went up to heaven, located his dog
Not only that, but he rejoined his arm
Down below, all the critics, they loot it all back
Cancer robbed the whore of her charm
His ex-wife died of stretch marks, his ex-employer went broke
The theologians were finally found out
Right down to the ground, that old jail house burned down
The earth suffered perpetual drought

Johnny Cash The Man Who Couldn't Cry Comments
Great song ❤️💥
preach is Johnny, preach it
Damn right
Preach it , preach it
Damn straight
This is the one and only time I've ever been able to say a cover of Wainwright surpasses the original. Cash has a way of doing that.
John Tustin indeed he does
He did the same with Hurt and a few other songs.
He made them his own.
Napalm babies la la la
Miss my cousin listened to this song and killed a lot of early time whiskey see you on the other side brother love you
Located his dog...

Johnny Cash Could Read the Paper and it Would Sound Better than Anything Any Artist Post 1990 Has Put Out ....
Brian Palajsa to be fair Johnny was a post 1990 artist too. He was crushing into the 2000s
Townes Van Zandt recorded until he died in "97, but i getchya.
"his ex wife died of stretch marks"
Johnny was post 1990 and pre 1880 and still read the paper better for what it was worth.
There once was a man, and he couldn't cry, until the day harambe died
fuck outta here.
Dicks out boys
The Man in BLACK
Why do people dislike songs if you don't like the song don't listen to it
andrew sutej, Theologians, obviously.
Maybe it was the first time they listened to it and they didn't like it?
holy shit! Isaac Newton, ive got a couple of questions man. how long did it to take you to realise gravity? how did you come about discovering that every force exerts an equal but opposite force?
andrew sutej
bc they like to be douches.
Sometimes people don't realize they dislike it but the may actually love it. they may have wanted to listen to it on here a bunch but couldn't shut the screen off and put in pocket screen out and accidentally hit the dislike.
song written by Loudon Wainwright III
I once ran over a skunk. I couldn't cry.
