Listen to his Sun Records stuff, listen to his very early Columbia Records albums...

It's only been a few weeks since we laid Sun Records founder Sam Phillips to his eternal rest here in Memphis.

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

--Johnny Cash, Hurt

Hurt was a song he covered from Nine Inch Nails, written by Trent Reznor.

Johnny Cash was one of my all time favorites, I was listening to his new CD yesterday & crying while Give My Love to Rose played.

I found him by the railroad track this morning
I could see that he was nearly dead
I knelt down beside him and I listened
Just to hear the words the dying fellow said

He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco
For ten long years I've paid for what I've done
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
To see my Rose and get to know my son

Chorus:
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose

Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
Tell my Rose to try to find another
For it ain't right that she should live alone

Mister here's a bag with all my money
It won't last them long the way it goes
God bless you for finding me this morning
And don't forget to give my love to Rose

Chorus:
Give my love to Rose please won't you mister
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
