Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash was and still is a vastly influential country music singer and songwriter. In a career that spanned almost five decades, Cash was the personification of country music to many people around the world, despite his distaste for the Nashville mainstream. Yet, Cash was a musician who transcended genre. His diversity was evidenced by his presence in three major music halls of fame: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Goodbye little darlin' we're parting Parting don't always mean goodbye
Although we had to part, you're always in my heart
Goodbye little darlin', goodbye
Goodbye little darlin' I'll miss you Miss you like the stars would miss the sky
I hate to see you go I'm gonna miss you so
Goodbye little darlin', goodbye
Goodbye little darlin' I love you

What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Concernin' the great speckled bird
And to know that my name is recorded
On the pages of God's holy word
Desiring to lower her standards
They watch ev'ry move that she makes
They long to find fault with her teaching
But really she makes no mistakes
I am glad I have learned of her meekness
I am glad that my name is on her book
For I want to be one never fearing
The face of my Saviour to look
And when he cometh, descending from heaven
On a cloud like he said in his word
I'll be joyfully carried to meet him
On the wings of the great speckled bird
Concernin' the great speckled bird
And to know that my name is recorded
On the pages of God's holy word
Desiring to lower her standards
They watch ev'ry move that she makes
They long to find fault with her teaching
But really she makes no mistakes

I used to have a sweetheart but now I've got none
Since she's gone and left me I care not for one
Since she's gone and left me contented I'll be
For she loves another one better than me
Green grow the lilacs all sparklin' with dew
I'm lonely my darling since partin' with you
And by the next meeting I hope to prove true
And change the green lilacs to the red, white and blue
I passed my love's window both early and late
The look that she gave me, made my heart ache
The look that she gave me was harmful to see
For she loves another one better than me
Green grow the lilacs all sparklin' with dew
I'm lonely my darling since partin' with you
And by the next meeting I hope to prove true
And change the green lilacs to the red, white and blue
I wrote my love a letter in rosy red lines
She sent me an answer all twisted in twine
Sayin' keep your love letters and I will keep mine
Write to your sweetheart and I'll write to mine
Green grow the lilacs all sparklin' with dew
I'm lonely my darling since partin' with you

Inside the walls of prison, my body may be, but my Lord has set my soul free
There's a greystone chapel here at Folsom
A house of worship in this den of sin
You wouldn't think that God had a place here at Folsom
But he saved the soul of many lost men
Now this greystone chapel here at Folsom
Stands a hundred years old made of granite rock
It takes a ring of keys to move here at Folsom
But the door to the House of God is never locked
Inside the walls of prison, my body may be, but my Lord has set my soul free
[Guitar Instrumental]
There are men here that don't ever worship
There are men here who scoff at the ones who pray
But I've got down on my knees in that greystone chapel
And I thank the Lord for helpin' me today
Now this greystone chapel here at Folsom
It has a touch of God's hand on every stone
It's a flower of light, in a field of darkness
And it's given me the strength to carry on
Inside the walls of prison, my body may be, but my Lord has set my soul free
There's a greystone chapel here at Folsom

In the desert where we searched for gold
The days're hot the nights're cold
Hank and Joe and me walked on, so bold and brave and free
For days and days we fought the heat
I got so thirsty and I got so weak
And when I fell cause I couldn't go I heard Hank say to Joe
He's dyin' (dyin', dyin') for water
Hear him cryin' (cryin', cryin') for water
Well lay him down in the dust and sand
He said Joe you know he's a dyin' man
Leave him there and let him die
I can't stand to hear him cry for water
I don't remember how long I lay
But when I awoke it was the break of day
Buzzards circled miles ahead, I knew Hank and Joe were dead
My eyes were dimmed, but I could see
A bed of gold nuggets under me
Now I know that it won't be long till they decorate my bones
Cause I'm dyin' (dyin', dyin') for water
Can't help cryin' (cryin', cryin') for water
Well they laid me down in the dust and sand

Way down the mountain, I chased a moonbeam
On the beach, I built sand castles too
My moonbeams faded, my castles tumbled
All of this was meaningless, cause happiness is you
No more chasin' moonbeams or catchin' fallin' stars
I know now my pot of gold is anywhere you are
My heart won't miss you, my heart goes with you
Loneliness is emptiness but happiness is you
I tried to doubt you and live without you
Tried to deny that I love you like I do

[Spoken:]
John Wesley Hardin lost his roll shootin' dice in the Jim Saloon in El Paso
One night back in '95
For a while he sat there and watched the game broodin' mad
Then he drew a pistol and said gimme my money back
And the timid soul handlin' the cash for the house said,
"Take it all Mr Hardin it belongs to you."
Hardin got arrested for it the next day
But nobody thought to ask him to return the money
He did get told not to play that way anymore
[Song:]
I know a man whose plow handle hand is quicker than a light
Wes Hardin is his name they say he travels in the night
For he might have to kill or walk around a fight
And if you ever saw Wes Hardin draw you know he can skin his gun
He won't say how many tried and died
Up against the top hand, up against the wrong man cause Hardin' wouldn't run
He rode in like a Texas wind, took the eastbound train
Goin' goin' with Jane Bowen till the law men caught up
So long Janie chin up I'll be back again
Off he went to Huntsville Prison, so long Jane he cried
Fifteen years she waited, till her heart broke and she died
And she left that bad land to wait up in the sky
Free at last the payin' past for all the wrong he did
First free air they let him breathe since he was a kid
So let him come and let him go, let him deal and bid
Near the border in El Paso Lawyer reads a sign
You won't find him there for business ev'ry day at nine
For, business is real bad, one client's all he's had in quite a long, long time
Then Sheriff Selman's boy broke in to Wes' woman's place
Up she jumped and pistol whipped him, kicked him in the face
And John Selman demands revenge for this disgrace
You could see ever night by candlelight in Hardin's favorite bar
She'd be hanging on his arm and very late they'd leave there
Headed for the Goose Hair glad it wasn't far
Right through the swingin' doors John Selman came with a blazin' gun
Wes Hardin chug-a-luggin' red eye, got him in the back of the head
John Wesley Hardin fell dead
Hardin wouldn't run

Well God told Noah to build an ark he said it's gonna rain, gonna be dark
Call in the animals two by two and don't let a sinful man go through
So the flood came just like he said and ev'ry evil thing on earth was dead
But Noah's faith was like a rock, God laid his ark on a mountain top
He'll be a friend and guide you, he'll walk along with you
You'll feel it there inside you, he'll help you make it through
When things looked dark Noah saw the light cause faith had told him right was might
If you need a friend he'll guide you, he'll be a friend to you
Well you've heard of Samson the strong man, the mightiest man in all the land
There was one purpose for his might, he had to deliver the Israelites
By the Philistines he was overcome, they tied him up to carry him home
But Samson prayed and his bounds were gone
He killed a thousand with an old jawbone
He'll be a friend and guide you, he'll walk along with you
You'll feel it there inside you, he'll help you make it through
God showed Samson what to do and it's the same God that stands by you

How much longer will it be till we cross

Cause I wanna look around.
Hey porter! Hey porter!

How much longer will it be till I can

I think about her almost all the time
The day she went away
I made myself a promise
That I'd soon forget we ever met
But something sure is wrong
'Cause I'm so blue and lonely
I forgot to remember to forget
The day she went away
I made myself a promise
That I'd soon forget we ever met
Well, but something sure is wrong
'Cause I'm so blue and lonely
I forgot to remember to forget
I can't seem to get her off my mind
I thought I'd never miss her
But I found out somehow
I think about her almost all the time
The day she went away
I made myself a promise
That I'd soon forget we ever met
But something sure is wrong
'Cause I'm so blue and lonely
I forgot to remember to forget
The day she went away
I made myself a promise
That I'd soon forget we ever met
Well, but something sure is wrong
'Cause I'm so blue and lonely
I forgot to remember to forget

On a Monday I was ar-rested (uh huh)
On a Tuesday they locked me in the jail (oh boy)
On a Wednesday my trial was a-tested
On a Thursday they said guilty and the judge's gavel fell
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders
I got chains, chains around my feet
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders
And them chains, them chains they're about to drag me down
On a Monday I got my stripes and briches (uh-huh)
On a Tuesday I got my ball and chain (oh boy)
On a Wednesday I'm workin' digging ditches
On a Thursday Lord I begged 'em down to knock me down again
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders
I got chains, chains around my feet
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders
And them chains, them chains they're about to drag me down
On a Monday my momma come to see me (uh-huh)
On a Tuesday they caught me with a file (oh boy)
On a Wednesday I'm down in solitary
On a Thursday Lord I start on bread and water for a while
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders
I got chains, chains around my feet
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders
And them chains, them chains they're about to drag me down
On a Tuesday they locked me in the jail (oh boy)
On a Wednesday my trial was a-tested

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men
I thought how as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along unbroken song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men
And in despair, I bowed my head
There is no peace on earth I said
For hate is strong that mocks the song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men
(Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor doth he sleeps
The wrong shall fail the right prevail
With peace on earth, goodwill to men)
Till ringin', singin' on its way
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chance sublime
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor doth he sleeps
The wrong shall fail the right prevail
With peace on earth, goodwill to men
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men
I thought how as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along unbroken song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men
And in despair, I bowed my head
There is no peace on earth I said
For hate is strong that mocks the song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men
(Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor doth he sleeps
The wrong shall fail the right prevail
With peace on earth, goodwill to men)
Till ringin', singin' on its way
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chance sublime
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead nor doth he sleeps
The wrong shall fail the right prevail
With peace on earth, goodwill to men

I just thought you'd like to know, since you've made your plans to go
It's gonna hurt me so, to see you go
But I hope you find another love and he'll be good to you
But still and yet I can't forget, the things we used to do
I just thought I tell you this, I've loved you since that first sweet kiss
It's gonna hurt to miss your tender kiss
But I hope you get to do the things you say you wanna do
But still and yet I can't forget the happiness we knew
[Instrumental]
I just thought you'd like to know how much you've hurt my pride
I just thought you'd like to know how much my heart has cried over you
But darling you could never see the misery you caused for me
So I will tell you so cause I just thought that you'd like to know
It's gonna hurt me so, to see you go
But I hope you find another love and he'll be good to you
But still and yet I can't forget, the things we used to do
I just thought I tell you this, I've loved you since that first sweet kiss
