The Johnny Cash song
It was nineteen fifty six when he came on to the scene
with his "Big river" woman who washed him down the stream
He sang about the good stuff the Hobos and the trains
he shone the light on heroes remember Ira Hayes
Chorus:
Counterfeit Cash is what they call me when I sing ol Johnny's tunes
cause I look "So doggone lonesome" singing "Folsom prison blues"
And time don't mean a thing to me cause I cling on to the past
new country may be in to-day but I still love Johnny Cash
Cause when he sang "Give my to Rose" it gave me food for thought
"Bout a young man out of prison dyin by the railroad tracks
And I remember Luther Perkins pickin "Marijuana blues
Marshall Grant on bass t'was Tennessee Two
Now I recall a young Johnny cash back in nineteen sixty two
"Johnny Yuma the Rebel" was ridin high and I was a young snapper too
The he transformed to the Man in Black" and with June Carter were a smash
so let's roll out the red carpet cause we love Johnny Cash
Now the good Lord said that God is life and with one loaf made many breads
he turned the water into wine and raised Lazarus from the dead
Now if I come back for a second round just make me a real gone cat
I want nothing to do with that guy named Sue I just wanna be Johnny Cash
Chorus .End
