This week’s #1 country song was Johnny Cash’s tenth on that chart but his only Top 10 pop hit. Written by humorist Shel Silverstein who also wrote several songs for Dr. Hook in the 70’s, it was from The Man in Black’s second live album behind bars, this time at San Quentin prison. This sounded a little rough around the edges because Cash hadn’t even rehearsed the song with his band. That’s why they got ahead of Johnny near the ending. The legendary Carl Perkins played lead guitar here.
