3.Wide Open Road

Lyricist:J.R. Cash
Writer(s):J.R. Cash

Well, you said you had enough
You said that you were leaving
I said, shove off honey, baby I ain't grieving
Pack your bags and pull out this evening
There's a wide open road
Early this morning you were nowhere about
And so I seached the town, but you had done pulled out
I looked north, east and west and then a-leading south
I saw a wide open road

There's a wide open road
It's leading south from my abode
If you stick a round and turn your damper down
There's a wide open road

Well, the reason I was looking for you all over town
Was to tell you that your kitty cat is still around
And you left your wedding ring when you went down
That wide open road
If you're gonna stay away, then honey let me know
How to cook hot biscuits, how to roll the dough
Everything's gone crazy since I told you to go
Down the wide open road

There's a wide open road
And honey, I want you to know
You can look down south or you can turn back home
And there's a wide open road

5.One More Ride

Lyricist:B. Nolan
Writer(s):B. Nolan

I long for the trip I don't need no grip I'm takin' one more
ride
Way out there in the prairie air I guess it's in my hide
Oh the clickety clack of the railroad track is callin'
If a man can know where the Santa Fe goes when she gets under
steam
And the big loud bell that bongs farewell could hear her whistle
scream
She's bound to go where there ain't no snow a fallin'
one more ride one more ride
I miss the gloom of the prairie moon that seemed to know my name
And the tumbleweed where the prairie don't feed I miss them just
the same
They're all a part of a song of heart I'm sayin'
I recall the tune that I sang to the moon and it seemed to make
it smile
And I rode away at the close of the day and I stayed so long
awhile
But I long to be where the memory is ringing one more ride one
more ride
As the years go by I wonder why I longed to leave my home

And to hit the trail of the iron rail away out there alone
But my heart would sigh till I know that I am leavin'
If I don't come back on a oneway track way down in Mexico
You can find me there or any old where that a tumbleweed will
grow
So it's goodbye now you'll never know how
I'm grievin' one more ride one more ride

7.Luther's Boogie

Lyricist:J.R. Cash
Writer(s):J.R. Cash

We were just a plain ol' hillbilly band with a plain ol' country
style
We never played the kind of songs that'd drive anybody wild
Played a railroad song with a stomping beat
We played a blues song, kinda slow and sweet

But the thing that knocked them off of their feet was, ooh, wee
When Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie
woogie
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie
Luther played the boogie woogie
Luther played the boogie in the strangest kind of way, play it
strange

Well, we did our best to entertain everywhere we'd go
We'd nearly wear our fingers off to give the folks a show
Played jumping jive to make 'em get in the groove
We played sad songs, real slow and smooth

But the only thing that'd make 'em move was, ooh, wee
When Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie
woogie
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie
Luther played the boogie


8.Belshazzar Intro


9.Belshazzar

Lyricist:J.R. Cash
Writer(s):J.R. Cash

Well, the bible tells us about a man
Who ruled Babylon and all its land.
Around the city, he built a wall
And declared that Babylon would never fall.

He had concubines and wives,
He called his Babylon 'Paradise.'
On his throne he drank and ate,
but for Belshazar it was gettin' late.

For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting,
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand.
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting,
His houses were built upon the sand.

Well, the people feasted and drank their wine
And praised the false gods of his time.
All holy things they scorned and mocked,
But suddenly all their mocking stopped.
For on the wall, there appeared a hand,
Nothin' else, there was no man.
In blood the hand began to write,
And Belshazar couldn't hide his fright.

For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting,
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand.
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting,
His houses were built upon the sand.

Well, no one around could understand
What was written by the mystic hand.
Belshazar tried, but couldn't find
A man who could give him peace of mind.
But Daniel, the prophet, a man of God,
He saw the writing on the wall in blood.
Belshazar asked him what it said,
And Daniel turned to the wall and read:

'My friend, you're weighed in the balance and found wanting,
Your kingdom is divided, it can't stand.
You're weighed in the balance and found wanting,
Your houses are built upon the sand.'

12.I Walk The Line

Lyricist:Johnny Cash
Writer(s):Johnny 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


13.Get Rhythm

Lyricist:Johnny Cash
Writer(s):Johnny Cash

Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
Yes a jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
It'll shake all the trouble from your worried mind
Get rhythm when you get the blues

Little shoeshine boy never gets low down
But he's got the dirtiest job in town
Bendin' low at the peoples' feet
On the windy corner of the dirty street
Well, I asked him while he shined my shoes
How'd he keep from gettin' the blues?
He grinned as he raised his little head
Popped a shoeshine rag and then he said

'Get rhythm when you get the blues
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe
Does a million dollars worth of good for you
Get rhythm when you get the blues

Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
Yes a jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
It'll shake all the trouble from your worried mind
Get rhythm when you get the blues'

Well, I sat down to listen to the shoeshine boy
And I thought I was gonna jump for joy
Slapped on the shoe polish left and right
He took a shoeshine rag and he held it tight
He stopped once to wipe the sweat away
I said you're a mighty little boy to be workin' that way
He said 'I like it' with a big wide grin
He kept on a poppin' and he said again

'Get rhythm when you get the blues
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones
Get taps on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues'


14.Train Of Love

Lyricist:Johnny Cash
Writer(s):Johnny Cash

Train of love's a-comin'
Big black wheels a-hummin'
People waitin' at the station
Happy hearts are drummin'
Trainman tell me maybe
Ain't you got my baby
Every so often everybody's baby gets the urge to roam
But everybody's baby but mine's comin' home
Now stop your whistle blowin'
'Cause I got ways of knowin'
Your bringin' other people's lovers
But my own keeps goin'
Train of love's deceivin'
When she's not gone she's leavin'
Every so often everybody's baby gets the urge to roam
But everybody's baby but mine's comin' home

Train of love's now hastin'
Sweethearts standin' waitin'
Here and there and everywhere
They're gonna be embracin'
Trainman tell me maybe
Ain't you got my baby
Every so often everybody's baby gets the urge to roam
But everybody's baby but mine's comin' home

Train of love's a-leavin'
Leavin' my heart grievin'
Bur early or late, I sit and wait
Because I'm still believin'
We'll walk away together
Though I may wait forever
Every so often everybody's baby gets the urge to roam
But everybody's baby but mine's comin' home


15.Country Boy

Lyricist:Johnny Cash
Writer(s):Johnny Cash

Country boy
Ain't got no shoes
Country boy
Ain't got no blues

Well you work all day while you're waitin' to play
In the sun and the sand, with a face that's tan
At the end of the day, when your work is done
You ain't got nothin' but fun

Country boy
Ain't got no wills
Country boy
You don't owe no bills

You get a wiggly worm and then you watch him squirm
While you put him on a hook and you drop him in a brook
If everything's gonna turn out right
You're gonna fry fish tonight

Country boy
You got a lot to lose
Country boy
How I wish I was in your shoes

Country boy
You got a shaggy dog
Country boy
Up a hollow log

Well he comes in a run, when you pick up your gun
And with a shell or two and your dog and you
When you get your rabbit, you'll skin his hide
He's gonna be good fried

Country boy
You got a lot to lose
Country boy
How I wish I was in your shoes

Country boy
You got work to do
Country boy
In the morning dew

You gotta plant the seed, you gotta cut the weeds
There's many a row you know you gotta hoe
When it's quittin' time, and your work is through
There's a lot of life in you

Country boy
You're lucky free
Country boy
I wish I was you and you was me


16.My Treasure

Lyricist:Johnny Cash
Writer(s):Johnny Cash

I saved a lot of money my fortune was untold
And like a fool I idealized my silver and my gold
My earthly treasure's mounted but when I counted through
I realized the treasure I had overlooked was you

My treasure unmeasured but forsaken
Of the treasures that come from above
My treasure unmeasured but it don't hold
A heart of the one that I love

If I had my life before me if I could see it all
I'd stake my claim on things that are secured against downfall
I'd work for earthly treasures like any man would do
But I set my sights much higher and I'd be sure that I had you

My treasure unmeasured but forsaken
Of the treasures that come from above
My treasure unmeasured but it don't hold
A heart of the one that I love

Lyricist:Johnny Cash
Writer(s):Johnny Cash

Hey I love that hair, long an' black
Hangin' down to the middle of your back
Don't cut it off whatever you do
'Cause I need it to run my fingers through
'Cause you're my baby, ah-ah, you're my sugar
Yeah, I don't mean maybe, My Little Woolly Booger

Hey I got me a guitar, got a six strings
And a picker to make 'em ring
Every string's gotta note or two
That I'm gonna use to serenade you
'Cause you're my baby, ah-ah, you're my sugar
You drive me crazy, My Little Woolly Booger

Well I got a dollar that I saved
Saved it up for a rainy day
Everybody's callin' for bills that's due
But they don't catch me, I'll spend it on you
'Cause you're my baby, ah-ah, you're my sugar
Yeah, Don't mean maybe, Little Woolly Booger

Well I had me a gal, she said she's mine
But she run around on me all the time
Now she's gone an' I'm glad we're through
'Cause I-I'm plum-google eye'd over you
'Cause you're my baby, ah-ah, you're my sugar
WhaaaT!
drive me crazy, don't mean maybe, drive me crazy
My Little Woolly Booger


23.Rock And Roll Ruby

Lyricist:J.R. Cash
Writer(s):J.R. Cash

Well, I took my Ruby jukin' on the out-skirts of town
She took her high heels off and rolled her stockings down
She put a quarter in the jukebox to get a little beat
Everybody started watchin', all the rhythm in her feet

She's my rock and roll Ruby, rock and roll
Rock and roll Ruby, rock and roll
When Ruby starts a-rockin'
Boy, it satisfies my soul

Now, Ruby started rockin' 'bout one o'clock
And when she started rockin'
She just couldn't stop, she rocked on the tables
And rolled on the floor, and everybody yelled
'Ruby, rock some more'

She's my rock and roll Ruby, rock and roll
Rock and roll Ruby, rock and roll
When Ruby starts a-rockin'
Boy, it satisfies my soul

It was 'round about four, I thought she would stop
She looked at me and then she looked at the clock
She said, 'Wait a minute, Daddy
Now don't get sour, all I want to do
Is rock a little bit more'

She's my rock and roll Ruby, rock and roll
Rock and roll Ruby, rock and roll
When Ruby starts a-rockin'
Boy, it satisfies my soul

One night, my Ruby left me all alone
I tried to contact her on the telephone
I finally found her about twelve o'clock
She said, 'Leave me alone, Daddy
'Cause your Ruby wants to rock'

She's my rock and roll Ruby, rock and roll
Rock and roll Ruby, rock and roll
When Ruby starts a-rockin'
Boy, it satisfies my soul

Rock, rock, rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock and roll
When Ruby starts a-rockin'
Boy, it satisfies my soul


24.Wide Open Road

Lyricist:Johnny Cash
Writer(s):Johnny Cash

Well, you said you had enough
You said that you were leaving
I said, shove off honey, baby I ain't grieving
Pack your bags and pull out this evening
There's a wide open road
Early this morning you were nowhere about
And so I seached the town, but you had done pulled out
I looked north, east and west and then a-leading south
I saw a wide open road

There's a wide open road
It's leading south from my abode
If you stick a round and turn your damper down
There's a wide open road

Well, the reason I was looking for you all over town
Was to tell you that your kitty cat is still around
And you left your wedding ring when you went down
That wide open road
If you're gonna stay away, then honey let me know
How to cook hot biscuits, how to roll the dough
Everything's gone crazy since I told you to go
Down the wide open road

There's a wide open road
And honey, I want you to know
You can look down south or you can turn back home
And there's a wide open road


25.Leave That Junk Alone

Lyricist:Johnny Cash
Writer(s):Johnny Cash

Well, you come home feeling for the knob on the door
You better pick up your feet, you're gonna fall on the floor
I keep on telling you, I'll tell you some more
You better leave that junk alone and drink water

Lord, that liquor is hot, drink water
You don't wanna be a sot
You better lay down the bottle
And put on the top and drink cool H2O

Well, your eyes are baggy and a bloodshot red
It's been a week or two since you've been in bed
You better pay attention now to what I said
You better leave that junk alone and drink water

Lord, that liquor is hot, drink water
You don't wanna be a sot
You better lay down the bottle
And put on the top and drink cool H2O

Well, now I'll forgive you for your running around
If you just promise that you come unwound
I'll buy you anything you want in town
If you'll leave that junk alone and drink water

Lord, that liquor is hot, drink water
You don't wanna be a sot
You better lay down the bottle
And put on the top and drink cool H2O


26.Brakeman's Blues

Lyricist:J. Rodgers
Writer(s):J. Rodgers

Portland Main is just the same as sunny Tennessee
Portland Main is just the same as sunny Tennessee
Any old place I hang my hat is Home Sweet Home to me

Went down to the depot and I looked up on the board
Went down to the depot and I looked up on the board
It read it's good times here but better on down the road

Eat my breakfast here get my dinner in New Orleans
Eat my breakfast here get my dinner in New Orleans
I'm going to get me a Momma
Lord I ain't never seen

Where was you Momma when the train left the shed
Where was you Momma when the train left the shed
Standin' in my front door wishin' to God I was dead


27.Big River

Lyricist:Johnny Cash
Writer(s):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.


28.I Couldn't Keep From Crying

Lyricist:M. Robbins
Writer(s):M. Robbins

I saw you walking by his side
Heard you whisper all those lies
And I couldn't keep from crying

You sang him love songs tenderly
That should have been for you and me
And I couldn't keep from crying

I saw his eyes drinking your charms
While he held you in his arms
Him with all his wedding ways
Rules your heart now in my place

I stood and watched him steal a kiss
From two lips I know I'll miss
And I couldn't keep from crying

I saw his eyes drinking your charms
While he held you in his arms
Him with all his wedding ways
Rules your heart now in my place

I stood and watched him steal a kiss
From two lips I know I'll miss
And I couldn't keep from crying


29.New Mexico

Lyricist:Johnny JohnsonLeon Lambson
Writer(s):Leon LambsonJohnny Johnson

T'was in the town of Griffin
The year was Eighty three
It was there an old cow puncher
Stepped up and said to me
How do you do young fellow?
And how would you like to go
And spend a pleasant summer
Out in New Mexico?

I'll furnish you good wages
Your transportation too
If you will but go with me
One summer season through
But if you should get homesick
And back to Griffin go
Then I'll furnish you no horses
From the hills of Mexico

We left the town of Griffin
In the merry month of May
When all the world was lovely
And everything was gay
With saddles on our horses
Marching over we did go
Until we reached the logging
Out in New Mexico

It was there our pleasures ended
And our troubles they began
The first hail storm fell on us
Those cattle how they ran
Through all the thorns and thistles
Us cowboys had to go
While the Indians watched upon us
Out in New Mexico

Well when the drive was over
The riders would not pay
To all you happy people
This much I have to say
Go back to your friends and loved ones
Tell others not to go
To the god forsaken country
They call New Mexico


30.Goodnight Irene

Writer(s):H. LedbetterJ. A. Lomax

Last saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife are parted
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I have a great notion
To jump In the river and drown

Irene goodnight, Irene good night
Good night Irene, good night Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Ramblin' stop your gamblin'
Stop stayin' out late at night
Go home to your wife and your family
Sit down by the fireside bright

Irene goodnight, Irene good night
Good night Irene, good night Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Irene goodnight, Irene good night
Good night Irene, good night Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

32.It's All Over

Lyricist:Johnny Cash
Writer(s):Johnny Cash

I was on my way to you and I was worried
I was all torn up and nervous
'Cause I knew that you'd be gone
I knocked and crossed my fingers while I waited
And I couldn't hide the teardrops
When I walked away a- lone.

It's All Over, It's All Over
Ev'ry minute that you cry for her
Is wasted don't you know
It's All Over, It's All Over
Stop your cryin'
Turn around and let her go.

I was runnin' 'round in circles like a baby
I was in a daze because
I loved you so, I couldn't see
I was broken in a million little pieces
When I saw enough to realize
You didnt care for me.


33.All Over Again

Lyricist:J.R. Cash
Writer(s):J.R. Cash

Every time I look at you I fall in love
All over again
Every time I think of you it all begins
All over again

One little dream at night and I can dream all day
It only takes a memory to thrill me
One little kiss from you and I just fly away
Pour me out your love until you fill me

I wanna fall in love beginning from the start
All over again
Show me how you stole away my heart
All over again

One little dream at night and I can dream all day
It only takes a memory to thrill me
One little kiss from you and I just fly away
Pour me out your love until you fill me

I wanna fall in love beginning from the start
All over again
Show me how you stole away my heart
All over again

All over again, all over again
All over again, all over again


34.You Dreamer You

Lyricist:Johnny Cash
Writer(s):Johnny Cash

You dreamer you

Well, I dreamed, I walked in a field of flowers
Oh, what a dream
The houses all were silver towers
Oh, what a dream

Beside the road an angel sat
I said hello and tipped my hat
And stopped when I saw her smile
And set me down a while, I set me down a while

You dreamer you

Well, I tried the angel for a kiss
Oh, what a dream
But she turned away and my lips missed
Oh, what a dream

She said, 'Sir, I'll have you know
I met you just a while ago
You're welcome for to sit
But calm yourself a bit, sir, calm yourself a bit'

You dreamer you
You dreamer you

I fell in love like one, two, three
Oh, what a dream
I asked the angel to marry me
Oh, what a dream

She said, 'Sir, I can't marry you
But I'm a dream that can come true
There are dreams of much my worth
That live upon the earth, sir, live upon the earth'

You dreamer you
You dreamer you

Then I awoke and found my love
Oh, what a dream
As heavenly as the one above
Oh, what a dream

We'll marry in a sea of flowers
Home will be a silver tower
There'll be heaven in my life
With an angel for a wife, with an angel for a wife

You dreamer you


35.I'll Remember You

Lyricist:Johnny Cash
Writer(s):Johnny Cash

I'll remember you
When I've forgotten all the rest,
You to me were true,
You to me were the best.
When there is no more,
You cut to the core
Quicker than anyone I knew.
When I'm all alone
In the great unknown,
I'll remember you.

I'll remember you
At the end of the trail,
I had so much left to do,
I had so little time to fail.
There's some people that
You don't forget,
Even though you've only seen'm
One time or two.
When the roses fade
And I'm in the shade,
I'll remember you.

Didn't I, didn't I try to love you?
Didn't I, didn't I try to care?
Didn't I sleep, didn't I weep beside you
With the rain blowing in your hair?

I'll remember you
When the wind blows through the piney wood.
It was you who came right through,
It was you who understood.
Though I'd never say
That I done it the way
That you'd have liked me to.
In the end,
My dear sweet friend,
I'll remember you

40.Girl In Saskatoon

Lyricist:J. HORTONJohnny Cash
Writer(s):Johnny CashJ. HORTON

I left a little town, a little south of Hudson Bay
I couldn't find a thing, to make a rounder want to stay
I fought the wind across the barren waste in the crystal doom
Going for to marry the girl in Saskatoon

I'm glad, I realized that no one could take her place
My heart was beating for her like the winter beat my face
But knowing that I'd see her made my spirit bright as June
I'm freezing but I'm burning for the girl in Saskatoon

South and West and following the cold December sun
I bedded down in the Carragana when my daily trek was done
Then up and pressing onward by the light of the morning moon
A prodigal returning to the girl in Saskatoon

Then I found the trail that had packed beneath the snow
I made the final miles where the prairie lilies grow
The steeple on a church glistened by the prairie moon
I'm freezing but I'm burning for the girl in Saskatoon

My journey was forgotten when I held her in my arms
My wanderlust was stifled by possession of her charms
And even beneath the steeple where we couldn't wait till June
I found eternal spring with the girl in Saskatoon

You held your head high tryin' to win the victory
You fought for you folks but you didn't die in vain
And even though you lost they speak highly of your name

Yeah 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

Yeah you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
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


43.The Shifting, Whispering Sands Part II

Lyricist:V.C. GilbertMary Margaret Handler
Writer(s):V.C. GilbertMary Margaret Handler

Yes they always whisper to me of the days of long ago
When the settlers and the miner fought the crafty Navajo
How the cattle roamed the valley happy people worked the land
Now everything is covered by the shifting whispering sands

(A miner left his buckboard went to work his claim that day)
And the burrows broke their halters when they thought he'd gone
to stay
How they found that ancient miner lying dead upon the sands
And for months they could but wonder did he die by human hands

So they dug his grave and laid him on his back and crossed his
hands
And his secret still is covered by the shifting whispering sands
(And his secret still is hidden by the shifting whispering
sands)

This is what they always whisper to me out on the quiet desert
air
Of the people and the cattle and that miner lying there
So if you want to learn the secret wander through this quiet
land
And I'm sure you'll hear the story of the shifting whispering
sands
(And I'm sure you'll hear the story of the shifting whispering
sands)


44.Send A Picture Of Mother

Lyricist:Johnny Cash
Writer(s):Johnny 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


45.Hardin Wouldn't Run

Lyricist:Johnny Cash
Writer(s):Johnny Cash

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 Janie 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 and let him deal and bid

Near the border in El Paso Lawyer reads the sign
You won't find him there for business every 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's 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 every 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 swinging 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 cos Hardin wouldn't run


46.Thunderball

Lyricist:John R. Cash
Writer(s):John R. Cash

There is a rumble in the sky and all the world can hear it call
They shutter at the fury of the mighty Thunderball
The power of her engines, now, has drowned in the sea
But the deadly force from within her is somewhere running free

Thunderball, your fiery breath can burn the coldest man
And who is going to suffer from the power in your hand

Somewhere, there is a man who could stop the thing in time
He is known by very few but he's feared by all in crime
By courage and by fighting, he has not been known to fall
But neither has the fury of the mighty Thunderball

Thunderball, your fiery breath can burn the coldest man
And who is going to suffer from the power in your hand

Money hungry minds need a thread to launch a scheme
But those, who hold the Thunderball, could rule the world, it
seem(s)
Cannot the peaceful world find the clue to where she's gone
The silent sea won't answer now but terror lingers on

Thunderball, your fiery breath can burn the coldest man
And who is going to suffer from the power in your hand


47.One Too Many Mornings

Lyricist:B. Dylan
Writer(s):B. Dylan

Down the street the dogs are barkin'
An' the day is gettin' dark
As the night comes in a-fallin'
The dogs'll loose they bark
An' the silent night will shatter
From the sounds inside my mind
As i'm one too many mornings
An' a thousand miles behind

From the crossroads of my doostep
My eyes start to fade
An' i turn my head back to the room
Where my love an' i have laid
An' i gaze back to the street
The sidewalk an' the sign
An' i'm one too mornings
An' a thousand miles behind

It's a restless hungry feelin'
That don't mean no one no good
When everythin' i'm sayin'
You can say it just as good
You're right from your side
An' i'm right from mine
We're both just one too many mornings
An' a thousand miles behind


48.The Frozen Logger

Lyricist:J. Stevens
Writer(s):J. Stevens

As I sat down one evening within a small cafe,
A forty year old waitress to me these words did say:

'I see that you are a logger, and not just a common bum,
'Cause nobody but a logger stirs his coffee with is thumb.

My lover was a logger, there's none like him today;
If you'd pour whiskey on it he could eat a bale of hay

He never shaved his whiskers from off of his horny hide;
He'd just drive them in with a hammer and bite them off inside.

My lover came to see me upon one freezing day;
He held me in his fond embrace which broke three vertebrae.

He kissed me when we parted, so hard that he broke my jaw;
I could not speak to tell him he'd forgot his mackinaw.

I saw my lover leaving, sauntering through the snow,
Going gaily homeward at forty-eight below.

The weather it tried to freeze him, it tried its level best;
At a hundred degrees below zero, he buttoned up his vest.

It froze clean through to China, it froze to the stars above;
At a thousand degrees below zero, it froze my logger love.

They tried in vain to thaw him, and would you believe me, sir
They made him into axeblades, to chop the Douglas fir.

And so I lost my lover, and to this cafe I come,
And here I wait till someone stirs his coffee with his thumb.

50.Bottom Of The Mountain


51.Put The Sugar To Bed

Lyricist:Johnny CashM. Carter
Writer(s):M. CarterJohnny Cash

Out on a shrimp boat I just dropped the net
When the wind she come to blowin' whizzin' bad all to get
I look south east and golly me what I see
A black thundercloud with them fuzzy eyebrows
Come a lookin' direct towards Boudleaux and me

I turned to Boudleaux and me I said
Put the sugar to bed put the sugar to bed
Lock up the coffee in the coffee pot
Put the flour in your pillow cause it's all we got
Hang the lantern from the ceiling and watch your head
Ho Boudleaux put the sugar to bed Boudleaux put the sugar to bed

Well the sky she get dark and then she turn dark black
I yell she gonna blow one right out of the Almanac
A big raindrop smacked me right on the ear
And I hollered hey Boudleaux but the way the wind blow
He just as soon be deaf there wasn't no how to hear
I try to call to Boudleaux but slid instead
Then me and Boudleaux put the sugar to bed

Well the ends of that shrimpin' boat was switchin' around
She turned sideways and inners and outers and upside down
The water come in tryin' to drown the both of us
The closet top open and the shillet went a flyin' me I hit my
head and kinda cuss

But most of all I frowned when she calm that I said
Put the sugar to bed put the sugar to bed
Ain't nothin' dry but my railroad watch the salt got soggy but
we still can budge
We built a fire for the coffee and we chicory fed
Cause me and Boudleaux put the sugar to bed
Me and Boudleaux put the sugar to bed


52.You Beat All I Ever Saw

Lyricist:Johnny Cash
Writer(s):Johnny Cash

I've walked though every town
Saw fortunes lost and found
And when your trail failed I walked holes
In both my soles
But I don't expect you back
You're somewhere making tracks
I crossed the burning bridges
And walked through miles of sand
Met the lawless and the law
But you beat all I ever saw

I dreamed a million miles
About your eyes and smiles
I tried to love the best
And to turn from all the rest
But I'd scan the skies for you
And I only saw your hue
They drew away your mould
You were made of frozen gold
And your heart would never thaw
You beat all I ever saw

Lyricist:C. DANIELSJohnny Cash
Writer(s):Johnny CashC. DANIELS

To Annabel in Memphis it was just another day
But her sweetheart and his buddies died ten thousand miles away

A captain sadly walked the muddy bloody battlefield
The smoke had cleared away and it was terrible and still
In his pocket was a roster of the falling fighting men
And the captain had his orders so the roll call begin
Atkins Baker Carter Calahan Clement Jones Johnson Moran
McCoy Perkins Rivers and Revere Stepherd Thomas Wilson what can
of you here

The roll call was completed but no sign of life was there
Not one man had answered not one accounted for
He turned around and he walked away and looked up to the sky
When he heard his own voice echo and the answer from on high
Atkins(here) Baker(here) Carter(here) Calahan(here)
Clement(here) Jones(here) Johnson(here) Moran(here)
McCoy(here) Perkins(here) Rivers(here) and Revere(here)
Stepherd(here) Thomas(here) Wilson(yes sir we're all here)
We are present sir and all accounted for


56.Six White Horses

Lyricist:Larry Murray
Writer(s):Larry Murray

Come here and look through the window Marie
Open up the shutters,tell me what you see
Was that his knock that i heard at the door
Or is it six white horses coming down the road

Come here and touch me and say that it's alright
You know that to my eyes the days are as the nights
Read again the letter that tells me where he's gone
To hell with the fighting i want my son home

I taught him to fish and i taught him to be strong
I taught him that killing any man was wrong
But tommorrow in battle i'd run to where he stood
If the help of a blind man would do any good

Last night i went to his room for awhile
I've touched all the things that he used as a child
I rocked the cradle where he used to lay
I found his tin soldiers and threw them away

Come here and look through the window Marie
Open up the shutters,tell me what you see
Was that his knock that i heard at the door
Or is it six white horses coming up the road
