Closing Medley - Johnny Cash Lyrics

"Closing Medley" lyrics Johnny Cash Lyrics "Closing Medley"
(feat. Carl Perkins, The Statler Brothers, The Carter Family & June Carter Cash)

[June Carter Cash:]
I hear the train a coming, it's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
Lord, I'm stuck in Folsom prison and time keeps dragging on
And that train keeps a rolling on down to San Antone

"Let's give her a big hand, June Carter! Helen, Anita, Mother Maybelle, the Carter Family!"

[The Carter Family:]
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the ties that bind
Because you're mine, I walk the line

"Hey alright! Now, the Tennessee Three: Marshall Grant, Bob Wootton, W.S. Holland!"

"The Statler Brothers!"

[The Statler Brothers:]
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire

"Yeah Carl Perkins!"

[Carl Perkins:]
Well, when I was a baby my mama told me "Son
That I want you to be a good boy, I don't want you to play with guns."
But I shot a man in Reno, I shot him just to watch him die, Lord yeah
Now that train keeps a rolling, I hang my head down and cry

[Johnny Cash:]
Johnny Yuma was the rebel, he roamed through the west
Yeah Johnny Yuma the rebel, he wandered alone
He got fightin' mad, this rebel lad
He packed no star and he wandered far where the only law was a hook and a draw
The rebel Johnny Yuma

"I want to thank you for being so good to us. I like to say a special hello to all the men here at the prison that're not with us tonight. If they couldn't find the key to the door or something. They couldn't let the bunch of them out here. I wish everyone of you could've be out here with us. All you guys I understand their pipe and the show in for you. Cell or somewhere. That supposed... listening... maybe. Is that closed circuit television that you have in here, is it? No. Anyway hello to all you fellers that can't see the show tonight. We wish you could all been here. We've had a ball, have we not?"

Well if they'd freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
