Текст песни Johnny Cash — I'm Gonna Try And Be That Way
I'M GONNA TRY
 TO BE THAT WAY
Once upon a time there lived a man, um um
Many years ago in a foreign land
 Knew how to live right,
 Tried to be a light
Gave everybody a helping hand
I'm gonna try to be that way, um um
I'm gonna try to be that way
  Do the kind of things a man oughta do
  Say the kind of things a man oughta say
I'm gonna try to be that way 
He never done anybody wrong, um um
He tried to help everybody 'long
  He brought a better land
  To make a better man
Out of the rich or the poor or the weak or the strong
And he preached love and brotherhood, uh, huh
He went around doin' good, doin' good
  Everywhere he went
  They knew that he was sent
And the people started actin' like they should
