Cisco Clifton Had A Fillin Station

by Johnny Cash

Biografía:

Johnny Cash, nacido John Ray Cash (26 de febrero de 1932 - 12 de septiembre de 2003) fue un cantautor estadounidense de country, gospel, rock and roll y rockabilly. Fue uno de los máximos representantes de la música country, aunque creó su propio subgénero musical.

Cash fue conocido por su profunda voz, por el característico sonido boom-chick-a-boom de su banda de acompañamiento, los Tennessee Three y, por vestir ropa oscura, lo que le valió el apodo de «El Hombre de Negro» («The Man in Black»).

[Verse]
A
Cisco Clifton had a fillin' station About a mile and a half from town
E A
Most cars passed unless they were out of gas So Cisco was always around
A
Regular gas was all that it sold Except tobacco matches and oil
E A
Other than that he fixed lots of flats Keepin' Cisco rough hands soiled
A
He'd wipe the gas and check the air In a hundred times a day
E A
He patiently gave directions On how to get to the state highway
A
Usually he'd give 'em water Or a tire or two some air
E A
And once a big black Cadillac Spent seven dollars there
A
He'd give anybody anything they'd ask And lend anything he had
E A
His tools are tires bumper jacks or wire To the good ones or the bad
A
In wintertime there was a depot stove And a table for a checker game
E A
And every mornin' at sunup The same checker players came
A
So Cisco Clifton's fillin' station Was always in the red
E A
Personal loans were personally gone But never a word was said
A
One mornin' at eight, them checker players Heard a big bulldozer roar like a freight
E A
And Cisco said I hope my kids stay fed When they build that Interstate
A
He'd managed to pay for property Where his little fillin' station sat
E A
And friends still came for checker game So Cisco settled for that
A
He wouldn't say so but Cisco knew That the Interstate was too much to fight
E A
But to keep his will and to pay his bills He did odd jobs at night
A
He still opened up at sunrise And the checker game went on
E A
The cars flew past on highest gas And the neighbors had sold out and gone

If a car ever did go by he was lost

And if they stopped they were treated the same
E A
So at Cisco Clifton's fillin' station There's a howdy and a checker game
