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 »

An American Trilogy
Mickey Newbury                                         
(words & music by Newbury)

 Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton
 Old things they are not forgotten
 Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
 Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away
 In Dixieland I take my stand to live and die in Dixie
 Cause Dixieland, that's where I was born
 Early Lord one frosty morning
 Look away, look away, look away Dixieland

 Glory, glory hallelujah
 Glory, glory hallelujah
 Glory, glory hallelujah
 His truth is marching on

 So hush little baby
 Don't you cry
 You know your daddy's bound to die
 But all my trials, Lord will soon be over
