macarthur's hand - tommy cash (usa) lyrics

[verse 1]
with high cheekbones and dark, sad eyes and sh*ggy, co*rs*, black hair
the old man squared his shoulders and returned the judge’s stare
then the judge pr*nounced him guilty on the charge of vagrancy
he said, “i’ve heard, your honor. now, your honor, listen to me”

[chorus]
“for i once shook the great macarthur’s hand
he pinned a medal on me ’cause i was his kind of man
’cause i stood my ground in that red*hot h*ll when good men turned and ran
yes, i once shook the great macarthur’s hand”

[verse 2]
“i’ve got no job or money, just a few old ragged clothes
but i’m no thief or beggar and it’s no crime to be broke
and i hadn’t harmed a single soul when they arrested me
i was fit to fight your war. ain’t i fit to walk your streets?”

[chorus]
“for i once shook the great macarthur’s hand
he pinned a medal on me ’cause i was his kind of man
i stood my ground in that red*hot h*ll when good men turned and ran
yes, i once shook the great macarthur’s hand”

[verse 3]
“i came through h*ll unharmed, that’s what the records show
but macarthur knew the scars and hurt the war left on men’s souls
and i’m not at all concerned about what your kind think of me
i earned a great man’s handshake and that’s all the pride i need”
[chorus]
“for i once shook the great macarthur’s hand
he pinned a medal on me ’cause i was his kind of man
i stood my ground in that red*hot h*ll when good men turned and ran
yes, i once shook the great macarthur’s hand”
