1.Folsom Prison Blues
Lyricist：J. R. Cash
I hear the train a comin'
it's rolling round the bend
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
but that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Anton..
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry..
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
they're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
but those people keep a movin'
and that's what tortures me...
Well if they'd free me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd moved it all a little further down the line
far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
and I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....
I bet I'd move just a little further down the line
far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
and I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....
2.Busted
Lyricist：Harlan Howard
My bills are all due and the babies need shoes
But I'm busted
Cotton is gone down to a quarter a pound
And I'm busted
I got a cow that's gone dry and a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that get bigger each day
The county's gonna haul my belongings away
I'm busted
I went to my brother to ask for a loan
I was busted
I hate to beg like a dog for a bone
But I'm busted
My brother said, 'There ain't a thing I can do
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu
And I was just thinkin' of callin' on you
I'm busted'
Lord, I'm no thief but a man can go wrong
When he's busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone
And I'm busted
The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family gotta pack up and go
Where I'll make a living, the Lord only knows
But I'm busted
3.Dark As The Dungeon
4.I Still Miss Someone
Lyricist：John R. CashRoy Cash Jr.
At my door the leaves are falling
A cold wild wind has come
Sweethearts walk 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
because I still miss someone
Oh, no I never got over those blues eyes
I see them every where
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I wonder if she's sorry
For leavin' what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone.
5.Cocaine Blues
Lyricist：T.J. Arnall
Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head
Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun
Took a shot of cocaine and away I run
Made a good run but I ran too slow
They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico
Late in the hot joints takin' the pills
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down
Said yes, oh yes my name is Willy Lee
If you've got the warrant just a-read it to me
Shot her down because she made me sore
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more
When I was arrested I was dressed in black
They put me on a train and they took me back
Had no friend for to go my bail
They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail
Early next mornin' bout a half past nine
I spied the sheriff coming down the line
Ah, and he coughed as he cleared his throat
He said come on you dirty hack into that district court
Into the courtroom my trial began
Where I was handled by twelve honest men
Just before the jury started out
I saw the little judge commence to look about
In about five minutes in walked the man
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read murder in the first degree
I hollered Lawdy Lawdy, have a mercy on me
The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen
99 years in the Folsom pen
99 years underneath that ground
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
Come on you've gotta listen unto me
Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
6.25 Minutes To Go

7.Orange Blossom Special
Lyricist：Ervin Rouse
Look a-yonder comin'
Comin' down that railroad track
Hey, look a-yonder comin'
Comin' down that railroad track

8.The Long Black Veil
9.Send A Picture Of Mother
Lyricist：J. Cash
After seven years behind these bars together
I'll miss you more than a brother when you go, when you go
If only I had not tried to escape
They'd barred me with you I know, yes I know
Won't you tell the folks back home I'll soon be coming？
And don't let them know I never will be free, be free
Sometimes write and tell me how they're doing
And send a picture of mother back to me
Say hello to Dad and shake his poor hardworking hand
And send a picture of mother if you can
I'm happy for you that you got your freedom
But stay with me just another minute or so, or so
After all this sweating blood together
Who'll be my fighting partner when you go, when you go
The hardest time will be on Sunday morning
Church bells will ring on Heaven Hill, Heaven Hill
Please ask Reverend Garrett to pray for me
And send a picture of mother if you will
Say hello to Dad and shake his poor hardworking hand
And send a picture of mother if you can
10.The Wall
Lyricist：H. Howard
Theres a lot of strange men in cell block ten
But the strangest of them all
Was a friend of mine who spent his time staring at the wall
Staring at thewall
In his hand was a note that his gal had wrote
And it proves that crime don't pay
She was the very same gal that he robbed and stole for
For naming her wedding day
For naming her wedding day
As he stared at that wall so strong and tall
You could hear him softly curse nobody at all
Ever climbed that wall but i'm gona be the first
Yeah i'm gona be the first
The warden walked by and said son don't try
I'd hate to see you fall
For there is no doubt they'll carry you out
If you ever touch that wall
If you ever touch that wall
Well a years gone by since he made his try
But I can still recall
How hard he tried and the way he died
But he never made that wall
He never made that wall
Theres never been a man ever shook this can
But I know a man who tried
The newspapers called it a jail break plan
But I know it was suicide
I know it was suicide

I'm gonna stomp your head in the ground
If you don't stay out of my hen house
You dirty old egg-suckin' hound
Now if he don't stop eatin' my eggs up
Though I'm not a real bad guy
I'm gonna get my riffle and send him
To that great chicken house in the sky

15.Give My Love To Rose
Lyricist：John R. Cash
I found him by the railroad track this morning
I could see that he was nearly dead
I knelt down beside him and I listened
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said
He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco
For ten long years I've paid for what I've done
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
To see my Rose and get to know my son
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
Tell my Rose to try to find another
For it ain't right that she should live alone
Mister here's a bag with all my money
It won't last them long the way it goes
God bless you for finding me this morning
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose

17.The Legend Of John Henry's Hammer
Lyricist：John R. CashJune Carter
Johnny Henry's pappy woke him up one midnight
He said 'Before the sheriff comes I wanna tell you,' Said
'Listen boy
Learn to hoist a jack and learn to lay a track learn to pick and
shovel too
And take that hammer, It'll do anything you tell it to.'
John Henry's mammy had about a dozen babies
John Henry's pappy broke jail about a dozen times
The babies all got sick and when the doctor wanted money
He said, 'I'll pay you a quarter at a time startin' tomorrow
that's the pay for a steel driver on this line.'
Then the section foreman said, 'Hey! Hammer-swinger!
I see you your own hammer boy but, what all can them muscles
do？' and he said,
'I can turn a jack I can lay a track I can pick and shovel too.'
'Can you swing a hammer, boy？' 'Yes sir, I'll do anything you
hire me to.'
Spoken：
'Now ain't you somethin'! So high and mighty with all that
muscle! Just go
ahead, boy. Pick up that hammer, pick up the hammer!'
He said to get a rusted spike and swing it down three times
I'll pay you a nickel a day for every inch you sink it to
Go on and do what you say you can do
With a steel-nosed hammer on a four foot switch handle
John Henry raised it back til' it touched his heels then
The spike went through the cross-tie and split it half in two
Thirty-five cents a day for drivin' steel
'Sweat! Sweat, boy! Sweat! Only two more swings!'
'I was born drivin' steel'
Well John Henry hammered in the mountain
He'd give a grunt he give a groan every swing
The women-folks from miles around heard him and come down
To watch make the coal-steel ring 'Lord! What a swinger!
Watch him make the coal-steel ring'
But the bad boys came up laughin' at John Henry
They said,' Your full of vinegar now but you bout' through!
We gonna get a steamdrill to do your share of drivin'
Then what's all them muscles gonna do？ Huh？ John Henry？
Gonna take a little bit of vinegar out of you.'
John Henry said,'I feed for little brothers
and baby sisters' walkin' on her knees
Now did the Lord say that machines ought to take place of
livin'？
And what's a substitute for bread and beans？ I ain't seen it!
Do engines get rewarded for their steam？
John Henry hid in a coal mine for his dinner nap
Had thirty minutes to rest before the bell
The mine boys hollered,' Get up whoever you are and get a pickax
Mine me enough to start another hell and keep it burnin'
Mine me enough to start another hell.
John Henry said to his captain said 'A man ain't nothin' but a
man
but if you'll bring that steamdrill 'round I'll beat it fair and
honest.
I'll die with that hammer in my hand but, I'll be laughin',
cause you can't replace a steel-drivin' man.
There was a big crowd of people at the mountain.
John Henry said to the steam-drill 'How is you？
(spoken) Pardon me, Mister Steamdrill I suppose you didn't hear
me. Huh？
Well, can you turn a jack？ Can you lay a track？ Can you pick and
shovel too？
Listen, this hammer-swinger's talkin' to you.
(Faster...........)
Two-thousand people hollered, 'Go John Henry!!!!!'
Then somebody hollered,' The mountain's cavin' in!!!!!!'
John Henry told the captin,'Tell the kind-folks not to worry
It ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind, it keeps me
breathin'
This steel-driver's muscle it ain't thin.
'Captain tell the people to move back farther
I'm at the finish line and there ain't no drill
It's so far behind that it don't got the brains to quit it
When she blows up she'll scatter cross the hills Lord, Lord
When she blows up she'll scatter cross the hills'
(Slower...........)
(Spoken)
Well, John Henry had a little woman
I believe the lady's name was Paulie Ann yeah that was his good
woman
John Henry threw his hammer over his shoulder and went on home
He laid down to rest his weary back and early next mornin' he
said,
'Come here Paulie Ann, come here sugar.
You know I believe this is the first time there ever was the sun
come
and I couldn't come up. Take my hammer, Paulie Ann and go to
that railroad
Swing that hammer like you seen me do it
They'll all know your John Henry's woman but tell em' that ain't
all you can
do
Tell em'.........
I can hoist a jack and I can lay a track I can pick and shovel
too.
Ain't no machine can that's been proved to you!
There was a big crowd of mourners at the church house
The section hands laid him in the sand
Trains go by on the rails John Henry laid.
They slow down and take off the hats, the men do
when they come to the place where he's laying' retsina' his
back.
They say,'Mornin' Steel-driver, you sure was a hammer-swinger.'
Then they go on by pickin' up a little bit of speed.
Clickity clack clickity clack clickity clack clickity clack
(Fade............)
Yonder lies a steel-drivin' man lord lord
Yonder lies a steel-drivin' man
Yonder lies a steel-drivin' man lord lord
Yonder lies a steel-drivin' man
Yonder lies a steel-drivin' man lord lord
Yonder lies a steel-drivin' man
18.Green , Green Grass Of Home
Lyricist：Curly Putman
The old home town looks the same,
As I step down from the train,
And there to meet me is my mama and my papa.
Down the road I look, and there comes Mary,
Hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
The old house is still standing,
Though the paint is cracked and dry,
And there's the old oak tree that I used to play on.
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary,
Hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to see me,
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Then I awake and look around me,
At the four gray walls that surround me,
And I realize that I was only dreaming.
For there's a guard, and there's a sad old padre,
Arm in arm, we'll walk at daybreak.
Again, I'll touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to see me
In the shade of the old oak tree,
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home.
19.Greystone Chapel
20.Big River
Lyricist：Johnny Cash
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry,
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you
Big River.
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.
I met her accidentally in St. Paul(Minnesota).
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl.
Then I heard my dream was back Downstream cavortin' in
Davenport,
And I followed you, Big River, when you called.
Then you took me to St. Louis later on(down the river).
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's
gone.
I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it
on.
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans.
Go on, I've had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf.
She loves you, Big River, more than me.
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you
Big River.
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.
21.I Still Miss Someone
Lyricist：Johnny CashRoy Cash Jr.
At my door the leaves are falling
A cold wild wind has come
Sweethearts walk 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
because I still miss someone
Oh, no I never got over those blues eyes
I see them every where
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I wonder if she's sorry
For leavin' what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone.
22.Wreck Of The Old 97
Well they gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia,
Said：'Steve, you're way behind time,
'This is not 38, this is Ol' 97,
'Put her into Spencer on time.'
Then he turned around and said to his black, greasy fireman,
'Shovel on a little more coal.
'And when we cross that White Oak mountain,
'Watch Ol' '97 roll.'
And then a telegram come from Washington station,
This is how it read：
'Oh that brave engineer that run ol 97,
'Is lyin in old Danville dead.'
'Cos he was going down a grade making 90 miles an hour,
The whistle broke into a scream.
He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle,
Scalded to death by the steam.
One more time!
Oh, now all you ladies you'd better take a warning,
From this time on and learn.
Never speak hard words to your true-lovin' husband.
He may leave you and never return.
Poor Boy.
23.I Walk The Line
Lyricist：J.R. Cash
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 that 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 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

25.I Don't Know Where I'm Bound
26.Starkville City Jail
Lyricist：Johnny Cash
Well, I left my motel room, down at the Starkville Motel,
The town had gone to sleep and I was feelin' fairly well.
I strolled along the sidewalk 'neath the sweet magnolia trees;
I was whistlin', pickin' flowers, swayin' in the southern
breeze.
I found myself surrounded; one policeman said： 'That's him.
Come along, wild flower child. Don't you know that it's two
a.m.'
They're bound to get you.
'Cause they got a curfew.
And you go to the Starkville City jail.
Well, they threw me in the car and started driving into town;
I said： 'What the hell did I do？' He said： 'Shut up and sit
down.'
Well, they emptied out my pockets, took my pills and guitar
picks.
I said： 'Wait, my name is...' 'Awe shut up.' Well, I sure was in
a fix.
The sergeant put me in a cell, then he went home for the night;
I said： 'Come back here, you so and so; I ain't bein' treated
right.'
Well, they're bound to get you, cause they got a curfew,
And you go to the Starkville City Jail.
I started pacin' back and forth, and now and then I'd yell,
And kick my forty dollar shoes against the steel floor of my
cell.
I'd walk awhile and kick awhile, and all night nobody came.
Then I sadly remembered that they didn't even take my name.
At 8 a.m. they let me out. I said： 'Gimme them things of mine!'
They gave me a sneer and a guitar pick, and a yellow dandelion.
They're bound to get you, 'cause they got a curfew,
And you go to the Starkville City Jail.
27.San Quentin
Lyricist：Johnny Cash you've living hell to me
You've called at me since 1963

And long ago I stopped asking why
San Quentin I hate every inch of you
You've cut me and you've scarred me through and through
And I'll walk out a wiser, weaker man
Mr. Congressman, why cant you understand？
San Quentin what good do you think you do？
Do you think I'll be different when you're through？
You bend my heart ＆ mind and you warp my soul
Your stone walls turn my blood a little cold
San Quentin may you rot and burn in hell
May your walls fall and may I live to tell
May all the world forget you ever stood
And the whole world will regret you did no good
San Quentin you've been living hell to me.

Wanted man in California,
Wanted man in Buffalo
Wanted man in Kansas City,
Wanted man in Ohio
Wanted man in Mississippi,
Wanted man in ol' Cheyenne
Wherever you might look tonight you might see this wanted man

Or Georgia by the sea
Working for some man who may not know at all who I might be
If you ever see me coming and if you know who I am
Don't you breathe it to nobody 'cause you know I'm on the lamb
Wanted man by Lucy Watson,
Wanted man by Jeannie Brown
Wanted man by Nellie Johnson,
Wanted man in this next town
I've had all that I wanted of a lot of things I've had
And a lot more than I needed of some things that turned out bad
I got sidetracked in El Paso,
Stopped to get myself a map
Went the wrong way in Juarez with Juanita on my lap
Went to sleep in Shreveport,
Woke up in Abilene
Wonderin' why I'm wanted at some town half way in between
Wanted man in Albuquerque,
Wanted man in Syracuse
Wanted man in Tallahassee,
Wanted man in Baton Rouge
There's somebody set to grab me
Anywhere that I might be
And wherever you might look tonight
You might get a glimpse of me
Wanted man in California,
Wanted man in Buffalo
Wanted man in Kansas City,
Wanted man in Ohio
Wanted man in Mississippi,
Wanted man in ol' Cheyenne
Wherever you might look tonight you might see this wanted man
30.A Boy Named Sue
Lyricist：S. Silverstein
Well, my daddy left home when I was three,
and he didn't leave much to ma and me,
Just this ole guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid,
But the meanest thing that he ever did,
Was before he left he went and named me Sue.
Well, he musta thought that it was quite a joke,
An' it got a lot of laughs from lots a folks,
Seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red,
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I'll tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue.
I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I roamed from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars,
I'd search the honky-tonks and bars,
And kill that man that gave me that awful name.
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July,
and i'd just hit town and my throat was dry,
thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
In and old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table dealin' stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me Sue.
Well I knew that snake was my own sweet dad,
from a worn out picture that my mother had,
and I knew that scar on his cheek ＆ his evil eye.
He was big and bent and grey and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold, and I said,
'My name is Sue! how do you do! Now you gonna die!'
Yeah that's what I told him.
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes,
And he went down but to my surprise,
Came up with a knife an' cut off a piece o' my ear.
I busted a chair right across his teeth,
And we crashed through the wall and into the street,
Kickin' and a gougin' in the the mud and the blood and the beer.
I tell you I've fought tougher men,
but I really can't remember when,
he kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
Well I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun but I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.
And he said, 'Son, this world is rough,
And if a man's gonna make it he's gotta be tough,
And I know I wouldn't be there to help you along.
So I gave you that name and I said goodbye,
I knew you'd have to get tough or die,
And it's that name that helped to make you strong.
Now you just fought one hell of a fight,
And I know you hate me and ya got the right,
To kill me now and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But you oughtta thank me before I die,
For the gravel in your gut and the spit in your eye,
'Cause I'm the son of a bitch that named you Sue.'
yeah, what could I do, what COULD I do？
Well I got choked up and threw down my gun,
Called him my pa and he called me his son,
And I come away with a different point of view.
I think about him now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son,
I think I'm gonna name him,
Bill or George any damn thing but Sue!
I still hate that name!
31.There'll Be Peace In the Valley
Lyricist：T. Dorsey
Well, I'm tired and so weary but I must go along
Till the Lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
Well, the morning's so bright and the Lamb is the light
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes
(There will be peace in the valley for me some day)
There will be peace in the valley for me dear Lord, I pray
(There'll be no sadness no sorrow no trouble I see)
There will be peace in the valley for me
(For me)
Well, the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame
And the lion shall lay down with the lamb, oh yes
And the beast from the wild will be lead by a child
And I'll be changed changed from this creature that I am, oh yes
(There will be peace in the valley for me some day)
There will be peace in the valley for me dear Lord, I pray
(There'll be no sadness no sorrow no trouble I see)
There will be peace in the valley for me
(For me)
32.Folsom Prison Blues
Lyricist：J. R. Cash
I hear the train a comin'
it's rolling round the bend
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
but that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Anton..
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry..
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
they're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
but those people keep a movin'
and that's what tortures me...
Well if they'd free me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd moved it all a little further down the line
far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
and I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....
I bet I'd move just a little further down the line
far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
and I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....

34.He Turned The Water Into Wine
35.Daddy Sang Bass
Lyricist：C. Perkins
I remember when I was a lad,
times were hard and things were bad.
But there's a silver lining behind every cloud.
Just poor people, that's all we were.
Trying to make a living out of black land dirt.
We'd get together in a family circle singing loud.
Daddy sang bass,
Mama sang tenor.
Me and little brother would join right in there.
Singing seems to help a troubled soul.
One of these days and it won't be long.
I'll rejoin them in a song.
I'm gonna join the family circle at the Throne.
No, the circle won't be broken.
By and by, Lord, by and by.
Daddy sang bass,
Mama sang tenor.
Me and little brother would join right in there.
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
Now I remember after work,
Mama would call in all of us.
You could hear us singing for a country mile.
Now little brother has done gone on.
But, I'll rejoin him in a song.
We'll be together again up yonder in a little while.
Daddy sang bass,
Mama sang tenor.
Me and little brother would join right in there.
Cause singing seems to help a troubled soul.
One of these days and it won't be long,
I'll rejoin them in a song.
I'm gonna join the family circle at the Throne.
Oh, no the circle won't be broken.
By and by, Lord, by and by.
Daddy sang bass,
Mama sang tenor.
Me and little brother would join right in there.
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
36.The Old Account Was Settled Long Ago
Lyricist：L.R. Dalton
Well, it was a time on earth
When in the books of heaven
An old account was standing
For sins yet unforgiven
My name was at the top
And many things below
But I went unto the keeper
And settled it long ago
Long ago, long ago
(Down on my knees I settled it all)
Yes, the old account was settled long ago
(Hallelujah)
And the record's clear today
'Cause He washed my sins away
And the old account was settled long ago
Well, the old account was large
And growin' every day
And I was always sinnin'
And I never tried to pray
But when I looked ahead
And saw such pain and woe
Well, I went unto the keeper
And settled it long ago
Long ago, long ago
(Down on my knees I settled it all)
Yes, the old account was settled long ago
(Hallelujah)
And the record's clear today
'Cause He washed my sins away
And the old account was settled long ago
Now sinner seek the Lord
Repent of all your sins
'Cause this He has commanded
If you would enter in
And then if you should live
A hundred years below
Well, you know you got it settled
'Cause you settled it long ago
Long ago, long ago
(Down on my knees I settled it all)
Yes, the old account was settled long ago
(Hallelujah)
And the record's clear today
'Cause He washed my sins away
And the old account was settled long ago
Long ago

1776 the thirteen colonies
Broke away from British rule and took a stand
'We're on our own', they said
And they looked across the land
With a defiant challenge
They looked across the land
'We will conquer you', the colonists said
？We see your mighty mountains
We know of your lush green valleys
We're comin' to claim you, to tame you'
And the 'Movement Westward' started

52.Mister Garfield
Lyricist：Jack Elliott
Mixing：Johnny Cash(Arranger)
Me and my brother was down close to the depot
When I heard the report of a pistol
I hollered, 'I wonder what was that!'
He run out and come back and he said
'That was a report of a pistol'
And I thought I was gonna faint when he said it
'Mr. Garfield's been shot down, shot down, shot down
Mr. Garfield's been shot down low'
Lord, I knew the President was supposed to be down the depot
that day
But I just wouldn't let myself believe that he'd been shot
Me and my bother run out there and everybody was all confused
And hollering' and running' round
And I stepped up to this one lady and I said that
'Ma'am what was it really that happened Ma'am？', and she said
that
'Mr. Garfield's been shot down, shot down, shot down
Mr. Garfield's been shot down low'
Well, it looked like everybody felt just about as bad as I did
Everybody started drift off to home
Me and my brother did too
Then a few weeks later, I heard that the President was still
alive
So I told my brother, I said, 'Hey let's get on a train
And go to that Big House up there and see how the President is'
'Let's go up there to where he's laid up hurt and sick we'd see
him'
So we went on up there and that big White House
And there was a soldier boy standin' round upside, outside
And, I sidled up to him and I said to that soldier boy
I said 'Who was it that did it？
Who was it that shot the President？'
And he said that, 'It was Charlie Guiteau that shot Mr.
Garfield'
And I said, 'Charlie Guiteau done shot down a good man, good man
Charlie Guiteau done shot down a good man low
Charlie Guiteau done shot down a good man, good man'
That soldier boy said that
Miss Lucretia Garfield was always at his bedside
In the heat of the day fannin' him when he was hot
And he said just that mornin' that he had been at the window
And he'd overheard Miss Lucretia and Mr. Garfield talkin'
And Mr Garfield said, 'Crete, honey', he called her Crete
He said, 'Crete, honey, if somethin' worse would happens to me'
He said, 'You get yourself a good man'
And she said, 'Now James', she called him James
She said, 'James, I won't hear to that now
'Cause I love you too much'
And he said that 'You'll make some good man a good wife, good
wife
You'll make some man a good wife gal
Don't pull in single harness all your life, good gal
Don't pull in single harness all your life'
That's what he said, 'Don't pull in single harness all your
life'
Well a little while later, we come back around there
And things have changed
The flag was hangin' halfway up the flagpole
And everybody was cryin' and standin' 'round sad
And I walked back up to this soldier boy and I said
'Soldier boy, is he, is Mr Garfield？' and he said, 'Yeah, he's
gone'
Gonna lay him by that cold lonesome branch down low
Mr. Garfield's been shot down low
Oh, Mr. Garfield's been shot down, shot down, shot down
Mr. Garfield's been shot down low
Have you heard the news？
Mr. Garfield's been shot down, shot down, shot down
Mr. Garfield's been shot down low, Lord
53.A Proud Land
54.The Big Battle
Lyricist：Johnny Cash
I think sir the battle is over, and the young soldier lay down
his gun.
I'm tired of running for cover, I'm certain the battle is done.
For see over there where we fought them, it's quite for they've
all gone away.
All left is the dead and the dying, the blue lying long side the
grave.
So you think the battle is over, and you even lay down your gun.
You carelessly rise from your cover, for you think the battle is
done.
Now boy hit the dirt, listen to me, for I'm still the one in
command.
Get flat on the ground here beside me, and lay your heart to the
sand.
Can you hear the deafening rumble, can you feel the trembling
ground.
It's not just the horses and wagons that make such a deafening
sound.
For every shot fired had an echo and every man killed wanted
life.
There lies your friend Jim McKinney, can you take the news to
his wife？
No son the battle's not over, the battle has only begun.
The rest of the battle will cover the part that has blackened
the sun.
The fight yet to come is not with cannon, nor will the fight be
hand-to-hand
No one will regroup the forces, no charge will a general
command.
The battle will rage in the bosom of mother and sweetheart and
wife.
Brother and sister and daughter will grieve for the rest of
their lives.
Now go ahead, rise from your cover, be thankful that God let you
live.
Go fight the rest of the battle for those who gave all they
could give.
I see sir the battle's not over, the battle has only begun
The rest of the battle will cover this part that has blackened
the sun.
For though there's no sound of the cannon and though there's no
smoke in the sky.
I'm dropping the gun and the saber and ready for battle am I.
