Written By Johnny Cash

If I had you at my mercy
There’s no tellin’ what I’d do
But I’d make you sit and listen
For an hour, maybe two

And then you’d know I need you
Every day that rolls around
Your feet would walk on velvet
With gold all over the ground

You tell me that I must perish
Like the flowers that I cherish
Nothing remaining of my name
Nothing remembered of my fame
But the trees that I planted still are young
The songs that I sang will still be sung

“I love June Carter, I do. Yes I do. I love June Carter I do. And she loves me. But now she’s an angel and I’m not. Now she’s an angel and I’m not.”

D.J.’s — station managers — owners, etc., where are your guts?
