Johnny Cash
Gold All Over the Ground
[Verse 1]
If I had you at my mercy there's no telling what I'd do
But I'd sit and make you listen for an hour, maybe two
And then you'd know I need you every day that rolls around
And your feet would walk on velvet with gold all over the ground

[Verse 2]
All your trails would be downhill, a soft breeze at your back
A sky full of diamonds and your nights would not be black
Yes, you would really love it and if you're ever down
I'd give you rows of roses and gold all over the ground

[Chorus]
I'd picked you up and carry you 'cross every stream I see
And I'd bundle you in kindness until you'd cling to me
We'd sit beneath strong branches, my arms would twine around
I'd turn your green to emerald and give you gold all over the ground

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I'd pick you up and carry you 'cross every stream I see
And I'd bundle you in kindness until you'd cling to me
We'd sit beneath strong branches, my arms would twine around
I'd turn your green to emerald and your skies full of diamonds and give you gold all over the ground
