Johnny Cash and His Love June Carter Cash

So the very next day when I punched in
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
I've never considered myself a thief
But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years.

Johnny in the 90s playing his famous guitar with the family

I met an old friend this morning
And I stopped him and called him by name
I said, "The years haven't changed you
But he said, "Good Lord, how you've changed!"
So we stood there and talked on the corner
And remembered the good times we had
Then he asked if we're happy together
And I only smiled and I said

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
I said to that undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this lady you are carrying
Lord, I hate to see her go

I went up to Memphis
And I met Delia there
Found her in her parlor
And I tied her to her chair
Delia's gone, one more round
Delia's gone

I'm going there to see my father
And all my loved ones, who've gone on
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is hard and steep
Yet beauteous fields arise before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep

Johnny Cash, Bill Monroe and Charley Pride

I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found
Something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not

Johnny Cash and George Jones.

A day before he died, I went to see him
I was grown and he was almost gone
So we just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen
And sang another verse to that old song
"Come on, Jack, that son of a guns are comin' "

Like desperados waitin' for a train
Like desperados waitin' for a train
Like desperados waitin' for a train
Like desperados waitin' for a train

I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna cross that river
I'm gonna catch tomorrow now
(Kris Kristofferson)
You're gonna want to hold me
Just like I always told you
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

But a swinging I must go, I must go
A swinging I must go, I must go
A swinging I must go while you critters down below
Yell up: "Sam, I told you so"
Well, damn your eyes!
I saw Molly in the crowd, in the crowd
I saw Molly in the crowd, in the crowd
I saw Molly in the crowd, and I hollered, right out loud
"Hey there, Molly, ain't you proud? Damn your eyes!"

Johnny Cash and his Son John Carter Cash.

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world below
There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my Father
And all my loved ones who've gone on
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home

Did you know that Johnny Cash came up with the idea of the song blue suede shoes, but didn't know how to make a song out of it. Later on, the song led to Sun Records selling over a million records.

Johnny and June.

Country boy, ain't got no shoes
Country boy, ain't got no blues
Well, you work all day while you're wantin' to play
In the sun and the sand, with the faces tanned
But at the end of the day, when your work is done
You ain't got nothing but fun

Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, Willie Nelson, John Carter Cash and W.S. Holland.

Johnny and his mother Carrie.

Well, you asked me if I'll forget my baby
I guess I will, someday
I don't like it, but I guess things happen that way
You asked me if I'll get along
I guess I will, some way
I don't like it, but I guess things happen that way
