Story behind the song
I was writing this song before Johnny rode into the sunset and wanted him to hear it, however it was not meant to be he died before I had finished the lyrical part. This Johnny cash Song for the record was recorded the morning he died at Barry Haggarty's Recording Studio in Peterborough ON. Canada. I wrote the last verse "Now the good Lord said that God is life... The song got a lot attention with www.topix.co a news conglomerate in the U.S.A. and went around the world and got really goos acclaim in Europe. In Canada it got nuthin. Snooze on Canada.
Lyrics
The Johnny Cash Song (By: Paul Henry Dallaire Paul Henry Pub. SOCAN) It was nineteen fifty six when he came on to the scene With his "Big River" woman who washed him down the stream He sang about the good stuff the hobos and the trains He shone the light on heroes remember "Ira Hayes" Chorus: Counterfeit Cash is what they call me when I sing ol Johnny's tunes Cause I look "So Doggone Lonesome" singin Folsom Prison Blues But time don't mean a thing to me cause I cling on to the past New country may be in to-day but I still like Johnny Cash Cause when he sang "Give My Love To Rose" it gave me food for thought "Bout a young man out of prison dyin by the railroad tracks And I remember Luther perkins pickin "Marijuanna Blues" With Marshall Grant on bass t'was "The Tennessee Two" Verse: Now I recall a young Johnny Cash back in nineteen sixty two "Johnny Yuma The Rebel" was ridin high and I was a young snapper too Then he transformed to the Man In Black and with June Carter were a smash So let's roll out the carpet cause we love Johnny Cash Now the good Lord said that God is life and with one loaf made many breads He turned the water into wine and raised Lazarus from the dead Now if I come back for a second round just make me a real gone cat I want nuthin to do with that That "Guy Named Sue" I just wanna be Johnny Cash Chorus: Cause when he sang "Give My Love To Rose........End
