1st Verse

He was born in 1932 in Arkansas.
He was the greatest entertainer you ever saw.
He knew how to sing? em and he knew how to write.
The man in black now walks around in white. (repeat)

2nd Verse

Now he wrote black nearly all his life.
It would become his trademark and his right.
He loved the common man and he led them to the light.
The man in black now walks around in white. (repeat)

3rd Verse

He accomplished many things here on this earth.
But he did a lot of things that brought him pain and hurt.
He paid for his mistakes, traded the wrong for the right.
The man in black now walks around in white. (repeat)

4th Verse

He was set apart from all the rest.
He had a drive that would stand the test.
His addictions became so strong, but he wouldn?t give up the fight.
The man in black now walks around in white. (repeat)

5th Verse

In Chattanooga as he lay on the floor of a cave,
A beggin? God just to take him away,
But God told him to get up and follow the light.
The man in black now walks around in white. (repeat)

6th Verse

Johnny Cash would some day meet his maker,
And he just wouldn?t shake hands with the undertaker.
His body lay in a long black limousine, but the angels carried him to the light.
The man in black now walks around in white. (repeat)
7th Verse

Now he walks around upon a street of gold,
Where there?s love and joy and happiness untold,
Where he feels no more pain, what a beautiful sight.
The man in black now walks around in white. (repeat)
(The man in black now walks by his Savior?s side.)
