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 »

Jacob Green got busted for possession
Next morning early he appeared in court
But he was sent to jail to wait
To be trialed at some later date                   
Next morning early, there came a sad report    
At the jail they took away his clothes to shame him       				 
And to make sure Jacob Green had no pride left                   
They cut of all his hair                    
Today they found him hanging there                             
Afraid to face the day he killed himself

[Chorus]
It happened yesterday, and if you turn your head away
Somewhere in some dirty hole the scene will be rerun     
Not only Jacob Green, but many more you've never seen      
It could be someone that you love gets done 
Like Jacob Green got done           
It could be someone that you love gets done    
Like Jacob Green got done

Jacobs father hired a team of lawyers
Inspections and long inquiries were held
The sheriff then retired
And the papers said two guards were fired
They put a brand new coat of paint on Jacob's cell
But like a tomb that looks so white and shiny
Inside you'll find corruption never seen
And somewhere out there tonight
In a dirty cell without a light
There will be locked up another Jacob Green

[Chorus]
