Johnny Cash

John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music icon, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal led to Cash being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Gospel Music Hall of Fame. more »

Far away upon a hill on a sunny mountain side 
Many years ago we parted, my own true love and I 
From the sunny mountain side 

Oh she clung to me and trembled, when I told her we must part 
And she said don't go my darling I know twill break my heart 
When we two are far apart 

Carry me back to old Virginia back to my clinch mountain home 
Carry me back to old Virginia back to my old mountain home 

My mother's old and feeble and my father's getting gray 
Carry me back to old Virginia for its there I want to stay 

Oh I held her in my arms leaned her head upon my breast 
And I told her that I'd wed her when I come back from the west 
To my old clinch mountain home 

In my hand I hold a picture of the old home far away 
And the picture of my sweetheart 
I'm thinking of today 
On the sunny mountain side
