Hello, I'm Johnny Cash.
I want to tell you about the
three fellas
that make the great sound behind me.
Two of them have been with me
for about 13 years.
There's Marshall Grant.
From Jackson, Tennessee, W .S. Holland.
And just recently joining our group
from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Bob Wooten.
I hear the train a -comin',
it's rollin' around the bend,
and I ain't seen the sunshine
since I don't know when.

Always be a good boy,
don't ever play with guns

They're probably drinkin' coffee

freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
Then I'd move it on
a little farther down the line
