A few days before my grandma died, she explained the meaning of this song while it was playing. She was a huge Johnny Cash fan. I was touched by the meaning, especially when she was just diagnosed with cancer and in hospice. She wasn’t one to be sentimental either. The next morning she had a horrible stroke that made her unable to communicate and she rapidly declined from there. When she was getting close to passing, but not able to let go, I kept humming this song to her. I didn’t know the melody 100% but I improvised. It was the meaning and intent that mattered. My aunt got into too if I remember right. This was a pivotal moment when we expressed acceptance of her passing and that we’ll be okay. She finally died about an hour later. We were relieved for her, and celebrated by playing her absolute favorite songs One Bourbon One Scotch and Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood. Yesterday, 5/2/19, was 7 years since her passing 🌤💐 HEY Oddone! Stop looking at me! You looked at me first!! 😜 You know I *might* actually miss you if you weren’t intruding in my dreams so much!

Johnny Cash really turned country music into a huge, wonderful thing. I wish we had someone like him now. I don't think I've listened to new country music since Hannah Montana. And that was the thin end of the wedge.

Really didn't like country until I discovered Johnny. I knew his Ring of Fire song , but I couldn't name another song he did. This last year, I turned 50 and decided to watch Little House of Prairie. Johnny and his wife were guest stars on season 3 episode 1. I was blown away with Johnny's acting performance, so I dug deeper into his music. For the first time in 50 years I can say that I am now interested in country music and it all started with Johnny Cash. What an awesome talent he was.

The original was written by the Carter Family (Maybelle in the back left beside June and her sister, and brother in law) in the 1930's, it's considered one of the earliest country songs, and of course a gospel song.
