Johnny Cash, nacido John Ray Cash (26 de febrero de 1932 - 12 de septiembre de 2003) fue un cantautor estadounidense de country, gospel, rock and roll y rockabilly. Fue uno de los máximos representantes de la música country, aunque creó su propio subgénero musical.
Cash fue conocido por su profunda voz, por el característico sonido boom-chick-a-boom de su banda de acompañamiento, los Tennessee Three y, por vestir ropa oscura, lo que le valió el apodo de «El Hombre de Negro» («The Man in Black»).

[Verse 1] GD I was down in music city 'bout a week ago CG I wanted to see the grand old Opry show CGD So I held a cap and I headed down to Opryland GD They said they sold their last ticket the day before CG So I kinda just hung around the backstage door CG And down the steps she came, men oh men GD My favourite female country star CG She waved her fans and headed for her car CGD Her tire, unlike her body, was very flat GD She said, could you change my tire CG I said your wish is my desire CG As she raised the lid, I grabbed her bomber jack She said I sure do appreciate you're changing my tire
[Chorus] GD If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was CG You'd say I was making it up D You've seen her on the screen and in country magazines CG You'd think I was making it up DC She said it was our little secret and my gully G I'm gonna keep it D Anyway you wouldn't believe it CG If I told you who it was
[Verse 2] GD She said you need a lift and I said well, CG You can drop me of at the York motel, CGD So we headed down Briley parkway in the town GD I told her I got all your records ma'am, CG She smiled and said well I be damned CDG Said, you're kind of cute fellar, wanna mess around? Hm! D When we got to my room just to be polite CG I said sure wish I could've heard you sing tonight CGD She smiled at me and said what do you wanna hear? GD Well if I was one of them country music folks CG I'll tell you, she'd sure get my vote CDG For the best performance of the year
[Chorus] GD If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was CG You'd say I was making it up D You've seen her on the screen and in country magazines CG You'd think I was making it up DC She said it was our little secret and my gully G I'm gonna keep it D Anyway you wouldn't believe it CG If I told you who it was
[Bridge] G Well I tell you this much When I put my arms around her and squeezed her real tight She looked up at me with those big beautiful eyes Took a deep breath and a sigh and said: N.C. "Howdy I'm just so proud to be here!"
[Chorus] GD If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was CG You'd say I was making it up D You've seen her on the screen and in country magazines CG You'd think I was making it up DC She said it was our little secret and my gully G I'm gonna keep it D Anyway you wouldn't believe it CG If I told you who it was
