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 »

Pick a lot o'cotton drag a long sack comin' across the field well I see Boss Jack 
He's a ridin' straddle of a single foot roan 
When you know that horse you'll leave him alone 
The ole roan's got green in his eyes mean as the devil and twice as wise 

A fire in his nose and a bow in his back can't nobody ride him but Boss Jack 
Come on children bend your back work a little faster fill your sack 
Then you hitch up the wagon take it to the gin finish pickin' before the winter sets in 
 
Now here while back when the crop was laid by 
Remember who took us on a big fish fry 
Caught a heap of catfish goggle eye and carp 
Dashed and sang to the guitar and the harp 

Well someday old Boss Jack is gonna set us all free 
Gabriel gonna blow for you and me 
Angels gonna bring that chariot from above floppin' there wings like a turtle dove 
Come on children...
