Get Rhythm lyrics

(Johnny Cash)

Get rhythm when you get the blues
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock `n` roll feelin` in your bones
Get taps on your toes and just get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues

Little shoeshine boy never gets low down
But he`s got the dirtiest job in town
Bendin` low at the peoples` feet
On the windy corner of the dirty street
Well, I asked him while he shined my shoes
How`d he keep from gettin` the blues
He grinned as he shook his little head
Popped a shoeshine rag and then he said

Get rhythm when you get the blues
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe
Does a million dollars worth of good for you
Get rhythm when you get the blues

Well, I started to listen to the shoeshine boy
And I thought I was gonna jump for joy
Slapped on the shoe polish left and right
He took a shoeshine rag and he held it tight
He stopped once to wipe the sweat away
I said you`re a mighty little boy to be a-workin` that way
He said
