Sam [phillips] Wanted I Walk The Line

I Worked There [on Pontiac] Three Weeks, Got Really Sick Of It, Went Back Home And Joined The Air Force.

He Drank His First Strong Liquor Then To Calm His Shaking Hand, And Tried To Tell Himself At Last He Had Become A Man.

Oh, I'd Love To Wear A Rainbow Everyday, And Tell The World That Everything's Okay, But I'll Try To Carry Off A Little Darkness On My Back, Till Things Are Brighter, I'm The Man In Black.

My Mother Told Me To Keep On Singing, And That Kept Me Working Through The Cotton Fields. She Said God Has His Hand On You. You'll Be Singing For The World Someday.

We Went Down [folsom Prison] And There's A Rodeo At All These Shows That The Prisoners Have There. And In Between The Rodeo Things, They Asked Me To Set Up And Do Two Or Three Songs. So That Was What I Did. I Did "folsom Prison Blues," Which They Thought Was Their Song - You Know? - And "i Walk The Line," "hey Porter," "cry, Cry, Cry." And Then The Word Got Around On The Grapevine That Johnny Cash Is All Right And That You Ought To See Him.
