Johnny Cash has died. An American Legend and the only country singer I admitedly listen to.
"If I could start again, A million miles away..."

I will sing Ring of Fire in honour.

Call him drunken Ira Hayes
 He won't answer anymore
 Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
 Nor the Marine that went to war
 
 Gather round me people there's a story I would tell
 About a brave young Indian you should remember well
 From the land of the Pima Indian
 A proud and noble band
 Who farmed the Phoenix valley in Arizona land
 
 Down the ditches for a thousand years
 The water grew Ira's peoples' crops
 'Till the white man stole the water rights
 And the sparklin' water stopped
 
 Now Ira's folks were hungry
 And their land grew crops of weeds
 When war came, Ira volunteered
 And forgot the white man's greed
 
 CHORUS:
 Call him drunken Ira Hayes
 He won't answer anymore
 Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
 Nor the Marine that went to war
 
 
 There they battled up Iwo Jima's hill,
 Two hundred and fifty men
 But only twenty-seven lived to walk back down again
 
 And when the fight was over
 And when Old Glory raised
 Among the men who held it high
 Was the Indian, Ira Hayes
 
 CHORUS:
 Call him drunken Ira Hayes
 He won't answer anymore
 Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
 Nor the Marine that went to war
 
 Ira returned a hero
 Celebrated through the land
 He was wined and speeched and honored; Everybody shook his hand
 
 But he was just a Pima Indian
 No water, no crops, no chance
 At home nobody cared what Ira'd done
 And when did the Indians dance
 
 CHORUS:
 Call him drunken Ira Hayes
 He won't answer anymore
 Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
 Nor the Marine that went to war
 
 Then Ira started drinkin' hard;
 Jail was often his home
 They'd let him raise the flag and lower it
 like you'd throw a dog a bone!
 
 He died drunk one mornin'
 Alone in the land he fought to save
 Two inches of water in a lonely ditch
 Was a grave for Ira Hayes
 
 CHORUS:
 Call him drunken Ira Hayes
 He won't answer anymore
 Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
 Nor the Marine that went to war
 
 Yeah, call him drunken Ira Hayes
 But his land is just as dry
 And his ghost is lyin' thirsty
 In the ditch where Ira died

Johnny Cash - Hurt

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Sorry to post all this but just incase anywants to sing and sing the right words.
Johnny Cash - Ring Of Fire

Love Is A Burning Thing
 And It Makes A Fiery Ring
 Bound By Wild Desire
 I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire
 
 CHORUS:
 I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
 I Went Down, Down, Down
 And The Flames Went Higher
 
 And It Burns, Burns, Burns
 The Ring Of Fire
 The Ring Of Fire
 
 I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
 I Went Down, Down, Down
 And The Flames Went Higher
 
 And It Burns, Burns, Burns
 The Ring Of Fire
 The Ring Of Fire
 
 The Taste Of Love Is Sweet
 When Hearts Like Ours Meet
 I Fell For You Like A Child
 Oh, But The Fire Went Wild
 
 CHORUS
 I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
 I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher
 
 And It Burns, Burns, Burns
 The Ring Of Fire
 The Ring Of Fire
 
 I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
 I Went Down, Down, Down
 And The Flames Went Higher
 
 And It Burns, Burns, Burns
 The Ring Of Fire
 The Ring Of Fire
 
 And It Burns, Burns, Burns
 
 The Ring Of Fire
 
 The Ring Of Fire

His wife saved his life in a way. He really turned it around from all the drugs and alchohol. It is true behind every great Man there is a great woman. Wonder where that woman is of mine
The Man will be truly missed.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

The next time I get any money, it is going straight to a Cash CD.

Truly great man.

The trick is to play 'Rusty Cage' with maximum woofage. Mmm, bass.

Yah, I know it is a cover of a NIN song. The words with the video are incredible. I usually hate videos but that was an exception. Besides do you know how many bands did covers of his songs?

[Petrarch of the VBB]

This thread deserves to be bumped.

Farewell, Mr. Cash

Ok? Who's Johnny Cash? Never heard of him. Well, I take that back, I've heard his name once, but I can't recall ever hearing any music by him. What kind of music did he play?

Eh, he's dead. More will die. It's part of life.

Either version is a great song. NIN took down their website for today as a memorial.

He was quite possibly the greatest country music star of all time.  He had hits in every decade of his career and many rock and rap stars cite him as an inspiration.  Have a little respect, for the dead if nothing else.
