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 »

On this rock pile, with my ball and chain
They call me by a number not a name Lord, Lord

Gotta do my time, I gotta do my time
With an aching heart, on that gal of mine

You can here my hammer, you can hear my saw
Gonna sing it like John Henry all day long Lord, Lord

Gotta do my time, I gotta do my time
With an aching heart, on that gal of mine

When that old judge looked down at me
Said I put you in that penitentiary Lord, Lord

Gotta do my time, I gotta do my time
With an aching heart, on that gal of mine

Well now it won't be long, just a few more days
They'll let me out of here I'm gonna stay Lord, Lord

With that gal of mine, with that gal of mine
She's a waited for me while I've done my time
