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 »

I don't want your millions mister
I can't use no diamond ring
I want the right just to live mister
Give me back my job again

I don't want your Rolls Royce mister
I can't use your pleasure yacht
I want some food for these children
Give me back my job again

We work to build this country mister
While you enjoy your life of ease
And you steal all that we build mister
See them folks, they starve and freeze
I don't want your millions mister
I can't use no diamond ring
I want the right to live mister
Give me back my job again

No I don't want your millions mister
I can't use no diamond ring
I want the right to live mister
Give me back My job again

I don't want your food stamps mister
And that welfare line don't interest me
Give me a chance to earn my wages
And give me back my old job please

Songwriters: Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash
Bono, Willie Nelson and Tom Petty
