Man In Black

    Early one morning
    With time to kill
    I borrowed Jebb's rifle
    And sat on a hill
    I saw a lone rider
    Crossing the plain
    I drew a bead on him
    To practice my aim

    My brother's rifle
    Went of in my hand
    A shot rang out
    Across the land
    The horse, he kept running
    The rider was dead
    I hung my head
    I hung my head

    I set off running
    To wake from the dream
    My brother's rifle
    Went into the sheen
    I kept on running
    Into the south lands
    That's where they found me
    My head and my hands

    The sheriff he asked me
    Why had I run
    And then it came to me
    Just what I had done
    And all for no reason
    Just one peace of lead
    I hung my head
    I hung my head

    Here in the court house
    The whole town was there
    I see the judge
    High up in the chair
    Explain to the court room
    What went through you mind
    And we'll ask the jury
    What verdict they find

    I felt the power
    Of death over life
    I orphaned his children
    I widowed his wife
    I begged their forgiveness
    I wish I was dead
    I hung my head
    I hung my head

    Early one morning
    With time to kill
    I see the gallows
    Up on a hill
    And out in the distance
    A trick of the brain
    I see a lone rider
    Crossing the plain

    And he'd come to fetch me
    To see what they'd done
    And we'd ride together
    To kingdom come
    I prayed for god's mercy
    For soon I'd be dead
    I hung my head
    I hung my head

Have Gun–Will Travel

    A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm
    A boy filled with wonderlust who really meant no harm
    He changed his clothes and shined his boots
    And combed his dark hair down
    And his mother cried as he walked out

    Don't take your guns to town son
    Leave your guns at home Bill
    Don't take your guns to town

    He laughed and kissed his mom
    And said your Billy Joe's a man
    I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can
    But I wouldn't shoot without a cause
    I'd gun nobody down
    But she cried again as he rode away

    Don't take your guns to town son
    Leave your guns at home Bill
    Don't take your guns to town

    He sang a song as on he rode
    His guns hung at his hips
    He rode into a cattle town
    A smile upon his lips
    He stopped and walked into a bar
    And laid his money down
    But his mother's words echoed again

    Don't take your guns to town son
    Leave your guns at home Bill
    Don't take your guns to town

    He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand
    And tried to tell himself he had become a man
    A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down
    And he heard again his mothers words

    Don't take your guns to town son
    Leave your guns at home Bill
    Don't take your guns to town

    Filled with rage then
    Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw
    But the stranger drew his gun and fired
    Before he even saw
    As Billy Joe fell to the floor
    The crowd all gathered 'round
    And wondered at his final words

    Don't take your guns to town son
    Leave your guns at home Bill
    Don't take your guns to town

Heaven & Earth

    “If you was hit by a truck and you was lying out there in that gutter dying, and you had one time to sing one song. Huh? One song that people would remember before you're dirt. One song that would let God know how you felt about your time here on Earth. One song that would sum you up. You tellin' me that's the song you'd sing? I'm telling you right now, that's the kind of song that truly saves people. It ain't got nothin' to do with believin' in God, Mr. Cash. It has to do with believin' in yourself.

When The Man Comes Around

    "And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder. One of the four beasts saying, 'Come and see.' and I saw, and behold a white horse"

    There's a man goin' 'round takin' names,
    And he decides who to free and who to blame.
    Everybody won't be treated all the same,
    There'll be a golden ladder reachin' down.
    When the man comes around.

    The hairs on your arm will stand up,
    At the terror in each sip and in each sup.
    Will you partake of that last offered cup,
    Or disappear into the potter's ground?
    When the man comes around.

    Hear the trumpets hear the pipers.
    One hundred million angels singin'.
    Multitudes are marchin' to the big kettledrum.
    Voices callin', voices cryin'.
    Some are born and some are dyin'.
    It's alpha and omega's kingdom come,
    And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
    The virgins are all trimming their wicks,
    The whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
    It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks,

    Till Armageddon no shalam, no shalom.
    Then the father hen will call his chickens home,
    The wise man will bow down before the throne.
    And at his feet they'll cast their golden crowns,
    When the man comes around.

    Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still.
    Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still.
    Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still.
    Listen to the words long written down,
    When the man comes around.

    Hear the trumpets hear the pipers.
    One hundred million angels singin'.
    Multitudes are marchin' to the big kettledrum.
    Voices callin', voices cryin'.
    Some are born and some are dyin'.
    It's alpha and omega's kingdom come,
    And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
    The virgins are all trimming their wicks,
    The whirlwind is in the thorn trees.
    It's hard for thee to kick against the prick,
    In measured hundredweight and penny pound,
    When the man comes around.

    "And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts. And I looked, and behold a pale horse, and his name that sat on him was Death, and hell followed with him."

Ring of Fire


    Love is a burnin’ thing,
    And it makes a fiery ring
    Bound by wild desire --
    I fell into a ring of fire.

    I fell into a burnin’ ring of fire --
    I went down, down, down
    And the flames went higher,
    And it burns, burn, burns,
    The ring of fir, the ring of fire.

    The taste of love is sweet
    When hearts like ours meet.
    I fell for you like a child --
    Oh, but the fire ran wild.

    I fell into a burnin’ ring of fire --
    I went down, down, down
    And the flames went higher,
    And it burns, burn, burns,
    The ring of fir, the ring of fire.

    I fell into a burnin’ ring of fire --
    I went down, down, down,
    And the flames went higher,
    And it burns, burn, burns,
    The ring of fire, the ring of fire.Source URL: https://logoswallpapers.blogspot.com/search/label/JOHNNY%20CASH

Ain't No Grave Can Hold My Body Down

    When I hear that trumpet sound
    I'm gonna rise right out of the ground
    Ain't no grave
    Can hold my body down

    Well, look way down the river
    And what do you think I see
    I see a band of angels
    And they're coming after me

    Well, look down yonder, Gabriel
    Put your feet on the land and sea
    But Gabriel, don't you blow your trumpet
    Until you hear from me

    Well meet me, Jesus, meet me
    Meet me in the middle of the air
    And if these wings don't fail me,
    I will meet you anywhere

    Well meet me, Mother and Father,
    Meet me down the river road
    And Mama, you know that I'll be there
    When I check in my load

    Ain't no grave
    Can hold my body down
    There ain't no grave
    Can hold my body down
    There ain't no grave
    Can hold my body down

GHOST RIDER IN THE SKY


    An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
    Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
    When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
    A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw

    Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
    Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
    A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
    For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry

    Yippie yi Ohhhhh
    Yippie yi yaaaaay
    Ghost Riders in the sky

    Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
    He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet
    'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
    On horses snorting fire
    As they ride on hear their cry


    As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name
    If you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range
    Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
    Trying to catch the Devil's herd, across these endless skies

    Yippie yi Ohhhhh
    Yippie yi Yaaaaay
