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 »

Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds 
Took a transfusion and I shot my woman down 
Went right home and I went to bed I stuck that lovin' 44 beneath my head 
Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun took a transfusion and away I run 
Made a good run but I run too slow they overtook me down in Juarez Mexico 
Late in the hot joints takin' the pills in walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill 
He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown 
You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down 
Said yes oh yes my name is Willy Lee 
If you've got a warrant just a read it to me 
Shot her down because she made me slow 
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more 
When I was arrested I was dressed in black put me on a train and they took me back 
Had no friends for to go my bail they slapped my dried up carcass in that country jail 
Into the courtroom my trial began where I was handled by twelve honest men 
Just before the jury started out I saw the little judge commenced to look about 
In about five minutes in walked the man holding the verdict in his right hand 
Verdict read in the first degree I hollered Lowdy Lowdy have a mercy on me 
The judge he smiled as he picked up his ben 99 years in the San Quentin pen 
99 years underneath that ground I can't forget the day I shot my woman down 
Come on you guys and listen unto me lay off that liquor and let that transfusion be
