Ride this
Train
Ride this train up and down and across a strange wonderful land
It's almost like a fairyland when you to think about it
You go through places with names like
Tuscaloosa
Kokomo
Muskogee
Oshkosh
Saginaw
Eureka
Bandera
Battle
Creek
Sioux
City
Chattanooga
Hattiesburg
Lynchburg and
Baltimore
Arkansas
You see
I'm a million different people from all over the world
And
I've been coming to this country for hundreds of years
This was the
Promised
Land for me
But let's not forget that when
I came here
There were already millions of people living in tepees along the rivers
And hunting deer and buffalo for food and shelter
And it's with a little regret that
I think of how
I pushed them back
And crowded them out to claim this land for myself or for another country
But the
Indians' hearts must have been full of music
For they left names with me that seem to sing
Names like
Mohawk
Mandan
Kickapoo
Cree
Yacoma
Seminole
Crow
Shawnee
Choctaw
Delaware
Fox
Paiute
Winnebago
Cheyenne
Blackfoot
Navajo
Ute
Comanche
Quapaw
Creek
Apache
Sioux
Chippewa
Ardua
Hupa
Shoshone
Mow
Hicano
Sage
Menominee
Chinook
Arapaho
Nez
Perce
Iroquois
Pony
Cutenai
Flathead
Chickasaw
Pueblo
Yuma
Pima
Pomo
Caddo
Well a lot of them are still with me and
I'm glad
It's for sure their names will always be with me
But let's look a little at the heart and muscle of this land
Few things you don't read in books things that aren't taught in school
Now you take this little town we're goin' through here this is
Beach
Creek
Kentucky
And right down there in the valley that's where our house used to be
It was a little shotgun shack with a spring out back
And a smokehouse and another little bitty house and that's about all
My pa was a coalminer like most everybody in
Mulengerg
County
Worked in the mines all his life
I guess he didn't have much ambition to do anything else
Cause they say coalmining kinda gets in your blood
Matter of fact pa said if they ever drained the blood out of him
It would be blacker than black strap moulesen
When
I was a kid
I used to sit at the fireplace there with mom
And wait on pa to get in from the mine
And we'd sure get anxious if he was ever late
Ma would rock back and forth and watch the clock listin' for pa to hit the front porch
Then he'd come in nothin' clean but the whites of his eyes
And he'd reach for that lie-soap and starts scrubbin'
And
I'd stand back and watch him and say to myself
Boy
I'll be glad when
I get big enough to work in the mines
Johnny Cash (Kingsland, Arkansas, February 26, 1932 – Nashville, Tennessee, September 12, 2003) was an American singer, musician, and actor widely considered one of the most influential figures in country music. Born into a poor farming family in the Deep South, Cash began singing in his local church and listening to country music on the radio. After serving in the military in Germany, where he learned to play guitar, he moved to Memphis and launched his musical career.

Among his most famous songs are "Ring of Fire", "I Walk the Line", "Folsom Prison Blues", and "A Boy Named Sue". Cash collaborated with numerous artists, including June Carter Cash, his wife from 1968 until his death. He won numerous awards, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997.
