He Was Removed From Jail And Placed

My Mother Was Determined That I Was Going To Leave The Farm And Do Well In Life. And She Thought With The Gift, I Might Be Able To Do That. So She Took In Washing. She Got A Washing Machine In 1942 As Soon As We Got Electricity And She Took In Washing. She Washed The Schoolteacher's Clothes And Anybody She Could And Sent Me For Singing Lessons For $3 Per Lesson.

I Haven't Been Familiar With Hard Work. It Was No Problem For Me. But First I Hitchhiked To Pontiac, Mich. And Got A Job Working In Fisher Body Making Those 1951 Pontiacs.

I Walk The Line Was My Third Record.

Why Me, Lord? What Have I Ever Done To Deserve Even One Of The Blessings I've Known? Why Me, Lord? What Did I Ever Do That Was Worth Love From You And The Kindness You've Shown? Lord, Help Me, Jesus, I've Wasted It So. Help Me, Jesus. I Know What I Am. Now That I Know That I've Needed You So, Help Me, Jesus. My Soul's In Your Hand.

One Day, I Just Decided I'm Ready To Go. So I Went Down With My Guitar And Sat On The Front Steps Of Sam Phillips Recording Studio.
