“But I will dance, I will sing, and my laugh shall be gay
I will charm every heart, in this crown I will sway
But I long to see him then regret the dark hour
He's gone and neglected this frail wildwood flower
Well, he taught me to love him and he called me his flower
That was blooming to cheer him through life's scary hour
And my heart is now wondering, oh, misery can tell
He's left me no warning, no words of farewell”
From Wildwood Flower, June Carter Cash

I love songs about horses, railroads, land, Judgment Day, family, hard times, whiskey, courtship, marriage, adultery, separation, murder, war, prison, rambling, damnation, home, salvation, death, pride, humour, piety, rebellion, patriotism, larceny, determination, tragedy, rowdiness, heartbreak and love. And Mother. And God.
- Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash and June Carter at Fulsom Prison. For decades Cash nearly always opened his gigs with Folsom Prison Blues after greeting the audience with the same introduction each time: “Hello, I’m Johnny Cash,”. On 13th January 1968, Johnny Cash and June Carter, the Statler Brothers, the Tennessee Three, with Carl Perkins on guitar, recorded a live version of the song before the prisoners of Folsom State Prison, Folsom, California.
