Nasty Dan Songtext
von Johnny Cash

Nasty Dan was the meanest man I ever knew
He′d stomp and scream and be real mean the whole day through
He'd frown a bunch, he ate nails for lunch and he′d never laugh
He'd growl and yell and I hard tell that he never took a bath

Nasty Dan was a nasty man
Hard to understand that Nasty Dan

Now Nasty Dan was a nasty man the whole day long
He'd go where he could, he′d try real good to make things go wrong
He′d jump for joy when a little boy would trip and fall
And the only words that he ever said were "I don't like you at all"

Nasty Dan was a nasty man
Hard to understand that Nasty Dan


Now a real interesting thing
That I want you to know about is this here
Because it′s the most important thing
It concerns a girl and things like that

Now Nasty Pearl was a nasty girl that met Dan somehow
She said you like me, rotten as can be, let's get married now

So they went and they did and had a nasty kid
And I must confess that Dan pretty much leaves everyone alone now
And he doesn′t bother anybody anymore
'Cause he just lives in his nasty ol′ house
With his nasty ol' wife and his nasty ol' kid in nasty happiness

Nasty Dan, he′s a nasty man
Hard to understand that Nasty Dan
