" I Need Me Some Johnny Cash "
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All A-lone And Feel-ing Blue
Tot-al Emp-ti-ness Won't Do
Bro-ken Soul I'm Act-ing Rash
I Need Me Some John-ny Cash
Hear That Lone-some Whis-tle Blow
As I Walk The Line I Know
Rings Of Fire Will Burn To Ash
I Need Me Some John-ny Cash
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John-ny John-ny Where Are You
Help Me If You Can
Pick Me Up And Pull Me Through
Un-der-stand Your Man
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun-day Morn-ings Com-ming Down
Why'd I Take My Guns To Town
Car-pen-ter Can You Re-hash
My Spir-its With John-ny Cash
In The Jail-house Now I Stew
With These Fol-som Pri-son Blues
Dad Sings Bass I Make My Dash
Help Me Run Now John-ny Cash

As I Thank The Man In Black
Who Put Me On Track
Theres Just One Thing Left To Do
John-ny Help That....Boy....Named....Sue

Psynopsis : The idea of incorporating some of the titles of Johnny Cash's greatest hits into a song, a tribute
song, sparked my creative imagination. Add in the idea of looking for inspiration from above,
from the soul or spirit of Johnny Cash and his music as a way to find peace, rounds out the story
set to music. Relates to many people who need their spirits lifted. Requested the Male / Male
duet by Paramount Group, but it can be done as a solo. Great Juke Box ( Bar ) song, and a nice
filler track on an album, or a tribute album. Below are the song titles of Johnny Cash's hits I
added into the lyrics in some form.
I Hear That Lonesome Whistle Blow......I Walk The Line.....The Ring Of Fire.....Understand Your Man.....
Sunday Morning Comming Down.....Don't Take Your Guns To Town.....If I Were A Carpenter..................
In The Jailhouse Now.....Folsom Prison Blues.....Daddy Sings Bass.....Orange Blossom Special..............
Jackson.....Ballad Of A Teenage Queen.....Man In Black.....A Boy Named Sue...............( 15 Titles Total )
