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.

I ride an old paint, I lead an old Dan
I'm off to Montan', for to throw the hooley ann
They feed in the coulees, they water in the draw
Their tails're all matted their backs're all raw
Ride around little dogies, ride around slow
The fiery and snuffy are rarin' to go
Bill Jones had two daughters and a song
One went to Denver, the other went wrong
His young wife died in a poolroom fight
But he tries to keep singin' from mornin' till night
Ride around little dogies ride around slow
The fiery and snuffy are rarin' to go
When I die, take my saddle, from the wall
Strap it on my pony, lead him out of the stall
Throw my bones on his back, turn our faces to the west
And we'll ride the prairie that we love the best
Ride around little dogies ride around slow
The fiery and snuffy are rarin' to go
I'm off to Montan', for to throw the hooley ann
They feed in the coulees, they water in the draw
Their tails're all matted their backs're all raw
Ride around little dogies, ride around slow
The fiery and snuffy are rarin' to go
Bill Jones had two daughters and a song

(I still miss someone)
At my door the leaves are fallin'
The cold wild wind will come
Sweet hearts walked by together
And I still miss someone
I go out on a party
And look for a little fun
But I find a darkened corner
Cause I still miss someone
Oh I never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I wonder if she's sorry
For leaving what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone
(I still miss someone)
Oh I never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I wonder if she's sorry
For leaving what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone

This world that I live in, is empty and cold
This loneliness cuts me and tears at my soul
I'm no child of destiny, no fortune's son
I've chased you so long now, I'm too weak to run
So here I return to a back street of thrills
Back to any warm shoulder till she's got her fill
And then I treat shame like an old friend from home
That I can lean on till the misery is gone
A new day is here, yet nothing is new
You're still gone and I tremble for you
I cry out at bedtime, no please not tonight
But again there's your footsteps and I turn on the light
Of course you're not there, no you never are
Then I try to forget that there's always a bar
And well, I win that battle, yes sometimes I do
But sleep doesn't come when I tremble for you
This loneliness cuts me and tears at my soul
I'm no child of destiny, no fortune's son
I've chased you so long now, I'm too weak to run
So here I return to a back street of thrills
Back to any warm shoulder till she's got her fill
And then I treat shame like an old friend from home

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine,
I walk the line
I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine,
I walk the line
As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine,
I walk the line
You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine,
I walk the line
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds

We sailed on the ship John B, my grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinkin' all night, got into a fight
Well I feel so homesick, I wanna go home
So hoist up the John B sail, see how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore let me go home
Let me go home, why don't you let me go home
Well I feel so homesick, I wanna go home
The first mate he got drunk, broke up the people's trunk
Constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone, why don't you leave me alone
Well I feel so homesick, I wanna go home
Then the cook, he caught the fits, threw out all of my grits
Then he took and ate up all of my corn
Let me go home, why don't you let me go home
Well this is the worst trip since I have been born
So hoist up the John B sail, see how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore let me go home
Let me go home, why don't you let me go home
Well I feel so homesick, I wanna go home
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinkin' all night, got into a fight
Well I feel so homesick, I wanna go home

I will miss you when you go, much more than you'll ever know
But I'll have a memory to keep you near
In my heart you will remain, but it just won't be the same
I will miss a million things that make you dear
Your lovely ways make you so sweet, I pray the angels fair will keep
Your happiness, so you'll be blessed, just as you deserve to be
I wonder why there are so few, lovely people like you

That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky
So I'm movin' on
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the Southland, we're comin' to you
When we're movin' on, oh hear my song
You had the laugh on me, so I've set you free
And I'm movin' on
Mister fireman won't you please listen to me
'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll
And keep movin' me on
Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
To keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin' on
I've told you baby, from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You've broken your vow, and it's all over now
So I'm movin' on
You've switched your engine now I ain't got time
For a triflin' woman on my main line
Cause I'm movin on, you done your daddy wrong
I warned you twice, now you can settle the price
'Cause I'm movin on
But someday baby when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
Keep movin' on
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky
So I'm movin' on
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the Southland, we're comin' to you

But a porterhouse steak, three times a day for my board
That's more than any loafer in this big town can afford
Well I got an electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
A little baby boy playin' round at my feet
I'm a rambler and a gambler and I've lead a dirty life
Well I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right
Well then I got married, I knew I'd settle down
And I built a little love nest right here in my hometown

I will meet you on that beautiful shore
Soon we'll come to the end of life's journey
And perhaps we'll never meet anymore
Till we gather in heaven's bright city
Far away on that beautiful shore
If we never meet again this side of heaven
As we struggle through this world and its strife
There's another meeting place somewhere in heaven
By the side of the river of life
Where the charming roses bloom forever
And where separation comes no more
If we never meet again this side of heaven
I will meet you on that beautiful shore
Oh they say we shall meet by the river
Where no storm clouds ever darken the sky
And they say we'll be happy in heaven

So the Holy Book does say
And a great multitude was gathered there
Without a thing to eat for days
Up stepped a little boy with a basket
Please take this Lord he said
And with just a five loaves and two little fishes
Five thousand had fish and bread
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
It was Jesus Christ our Lord
Now pay close attention little children
It's somebody you oughta know
You know it's all about a man that walked on earth
Nearly two thousand years ago
Well he healed the sick and afflicted
And he raised 'em from the dead
Then they nailed him on an ol' rugged cross
And put thorns on his head
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
It was Jesus Christ our Lord
Well they took him down and they buried him
And after the third day
When they came to his tomb well they knew he was gone
Cause the stone was rolled away
He's not here for he is risen
The angel of the Lord then said
And when they saw him walkin' with his nail-scared hands
They knew he came back from the dead
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
It was Jesus Christ our Lord
So the Holy Book does say
And a great multitude was gathered there
Without a thing to eat for days
Up stepped a little boy with a basket
Please take this Lord he said
And with just a five loaves and two little fishes
Five thousand had fish and bread
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
It was Jesus Christ our Lord
Now pay close attention little children
It's somebody you oughta know
You know it's all about a man that walked on earth
Nearly two thousand years ago
Well he healed the sick and afflicted
And he raised 'em from the dead
Then they nailed him on an ol' rugged cross
And put thorns on his head
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
It was Jesus Christ our Lord
Well they took him down and they buried him
And after the third day
When they came to his tomb well they knew he was gone
Cause the stone was rolled away
He's not here for he is risen
The angel of the Lord then said
And when they saw him walkin' with his nail-scared hands
They knew he came back from the dead
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
It was Jesus Christ our Lord

[Spoken:]
Just like Mr. Greeley suggested
Back in the 1860s many young men went west
But they went with their pistols cocked
It seemed the only way to escape the horrors of war
But sometimes the horrors
Were even worst then the west
Back on the front, the losers
Johnny Reb they called him, fought all the way
[Song:]
Okay Johnny Reb, you can sound down the flag now
It's all over
Yeah you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
I saw you a marchin' with Robert E. Lee
You held your head high tryin' to win the victory
You fought for your folks but you didn't die in vain
And even though you lost they speak highly of your name
You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside
Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side
Saw the young boys when they began to fall
There were tears in your eyes but you couldn't help at all
You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
Yeah, you fought all the way, Johnny Reb
I saw General Lee raise a sabre in his hand
Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand
You marched into battle with the Grey and the Red
When the smoke cleared away it took days to count the dead
Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
And when President Lincoln heard the news of your fall
Everyone said there'd be a victory ball
But he asked the band if they would play "Dixie"
For you Johnny Reb and for what you believed
Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
Yeah, you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb

I'm not the going steady kind
I miss 'em all, all the time
I told Annie I'd be true
But I still think about Katy too
Katy too, Katy too
I still think about Katy too
If you should see Miss. Mary-Ann
Just tell her I'm her loving man
Give my love to Jane and Sue
But don't forget ol' Katy too
Katy too, Katy too
Don't forget ol' Katy too
I like Sadie's chicken stew
And Suzie's good at stitchin' wool
I like Mary's barbecue
But I still like ol' Katy too
Katy too, Katy too
I still like ol' Katy too
Now, girls I'm not the flirty kind
But I just can't make up my mind
I'd like to marry all of you
But I still miss ol' Katy too
Katy too, Katy too
I still miss ol' Katy too
To all the girls I make this toast
I love you eveyone the most
But don't ask me to say "I do"
'Cause I still miss ol' Katy too
Katy too, Katy too
I still miss ol' Katy too
Cupid you been good to me
I got more girls than I can see
But if you give me all but two
Then let's squeeze in ol' Katy too
Katy too, Katy too
Let's squeeze in ol' Katy too
I miss 'em all, all the time
I told Annie I'd be true
But I still think about Katy too

When I was a curly headed baby
My daddy sat me down upon his knee
He said boy you go to school and learn your letters
Don't you be a dirty miner like me
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars rambled past my door
Now they're standin' in rusty row all dusty
And the L & N, don't stop here anymore
Well, I used to think my daddy was a black man
With script enough to buy the company store
Now he goes downtown with his pockets empty
And his face is white as the February snow
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars rambled past my door
Now they're standin' in rusty row all dusty
And the L & N, don't stop here anymore
Last night I dreamed I went down to the coal yard
To draw my pay just like I done before
Them ol' kudzu vines were comin' through the window
And weeds and grass were growin' through the floor
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars rambled past my door
Now they're standin' in rusty row all dusty
And the L & N, don't stop here anymore
And the L & N, don't stop here anymore
My daddy sat me down upon his knee
He said boy you go to school and learn your letters
Don't you be a dirty miner like me
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars rambled past my door
Now they're standin' in rusty row all dusty
And the L & N, don't stop here anymore
Well, I used to think my daddy was a black man
With script enough to buy the company store
Now he goes downtown with his pockets empty
And his face is white as the February snow
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars rambled past my door
Now they're standin' in rusty row all dusty
And the L & N, don't stop here anymore
Last night I dreamed I went down to the coal yard
To draw my pay just like I done before
Them ol' kudzu vines were comin' through the window
And weeds and grass were growin' through the floor
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars rambled past my door
Now they're standin' in rusty row all dusty
And the L & N, don't stop here anymore
And the L & N, don't stop here anymore
