The Sound Of Laughter de Johnny Cash

I stood in there in the shadows
As they went strolling by
Now she ain't my girl no longer
There's no reason i should cry

But i knew there went my future
And i couldn't stop the tears
And the sound of laughter
Ringing in my ears

I spent every dime i had on her
And when it was gone
She said hun, it's sure been fun
But its time you moved along

So i stood there in the shadows
And i had my .44
I could hear her mocking laughter
But she won't laugh anymore

Now i'm down here in the gaolhouse
And i know what brought me here
It was the sound of laughter
Ringing in my ears

Well i guess i should have left this town
And her far behind
For the way that she made fun of me
Keeps running through my mind

Well the jury showed no mercy
And i never asked for none
Cause i know i've got it coming
I'm not proud of what i've done

But down here in this darkness
More and more i seem to hear
The sound of laughter
Ringing in my ears

I hear the sound of laughter
Ringing in my ear
