Missing Ol’ Johnny Cash Merle Haggard & Willie Nelson (Ft. Bobby Bare)

[Verse 1: Merle Haggard]
Now Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two
Seemed to know just what to do
Invented the sound that hooked you and me
Added one to make the Tennessee Three
The Man In Black was long and lean
Hit the Billboard charts with a Teenage Queen
Had a television show, the best we'd seen
That chick-a-boom rock really made a splash
Missing ol' Johnny Cash

[Verse 2: Merle Haggard]
Well Johnny Cash was a friend of mine
Knew him well for a mighty long time
Shared the stage for many a show
Broke my heart to see him go
Cash had the fire of a thousand men
Lovin' life was his greatest sin
Treated his fans like the next of kin
Rappin' a bit, talkin' trash
Missing ol' Johnny Cash

[Verse 3: Willie Nelson]
Well now Johnny Cash wore black attire
And he fell into that Ring of Fire
He came up swinging like a Boy Named Sue
And he married June Carter and he fired Stu
He wrote his songs from deep within
And he hit the stage with a crooked grin
He and I were both Highwaymen
And that record became a smash
Well I'm missing ol' Johnny Cash
