Текст песни Johnny Cash - Straight As In Love

Straight 's In Love:Johnny Cash.
#16 on BB Hot Country and #84 on
BB Hot 100 on SUN Records in 1959.

#1.
Well, the readin' and the writin' and arithmetic
never did get through to me.
It ain't because I'm square or thick cause I 
learned my   's. 
But when I graduated from the grammar school
and I moved one grade above, I began to be a 
snook at books but I made straight 's in love.

Now, the teacher would say to learn your Algebra,
but I'd bring home 's and 's.
How could I make an A when there's a swingin' maid
on the left, and on the right, and in the back, and 
the front of me?

BRIDGE:
Oh, my grades are low on my card, I know, but they 
oughta give me one above.
If they'd give me a mark for learnin' in the dark,
I'd have straight 's in love.

INTERLUDE:     

#2.
Now, in my senior year with graduation near I did my 
homework every night.
And when my momma said I oughta go to bed I'd turn out 
all the lights.
But my sweetie pie was waitin' right outside, she'd be 

a-cooin' like a dove.
Though I did my best, I failed semester test, but made 
straight 's in love.

Now, the teacher would say to learn your Algebra,
but I'd bring home 's and 's.
How could I make an A when there's a swingin' maid
on the left, and on the right, and in the back, and 
the front of me?

BRIDGE:
Oh, my grades are low on my card, I know, but they 
oughta give me one above.
If they'd give me a mark for learnin' in the dark,
I'd have straight 's in love.
