The reverend mr. black


The Reverend Mr.
Black (Spoken) He rode easy in the saddle.
He was tall and lean, and at first you'd a-thought nothing but a streak of mean could make a man look so down right strong, but one look in his eyes and you knowed you was wrong.
He was a mountain of a man, and I want you to know.
He could preach hot hell or freezin' snow.
He carried a Bible in a canvas sack and folks just called him The Reverend Mr.
Black.
He was poor as a beggar, but he rode like a king.
Sometimes in the evening, I'd hear him sing: Chorus:I gotta walk that lonesome valley.
I got to walk it by myself.
Oh nobody else can walk it for me.
I got to walk it by myself.
You got to walk that lonesome valley.
You got to walk it by yourself.
Oh nobody else can walk it for you.
You got to walk it by yourself.
If ever I could have thought this man in black was soft and had any yellow up his back, I gave that notion up the day a lumberjack came in and it wasn't to pray.
Yeah, he kicked open the meeting house door and he cussed everybody up and down the floor! Then, when things got quiet in the place, he walked up and cusses in the preacher's face! He hit that Reverend like a kick of a mule and to my way of thinkin' it took a real fool to turn the other face to that lumber jack, but that's what he did, The Reverend Mr.
Black.
He stood like a rock, a man among men and he let that lumberjack hit him again, and then with a voice as quiet as could be, he cut him down like a big oak tree when he said: (Chorus)I gotta walk that lonesome valley.
I got to walk it by myself.
Oh nobody else can walk it for me.
I got to walk it by myself.
You got to walk that lonesome valley.
You got to walk it by yourself.
Oh nobody else can walk it for you.
You got to walk it by yourself.
It's been many years since we had to part and I guess I learned his ways by heart.
I can still hear his sermon's ring, down in the valley where he used to sing.
I followed him, yes, sir, and I don't regret it and I hope I will always be a credit to his memory 'cause I want you to understand.
The Reverend Mr.
Black was my old man! (Chorus)I gotta walk that lonesome valley.
I got to walk it by myself.
Oh nobody else can walk it for me.
I got to walk it by myself.
You got to walk that lonesome valley.
You got to walk it by yourself.
Oh nobody else can walk it for you.
You got to walk it by yourself.

Biografia

Uno dei sette figli (oltre a Johnny: Jack, della cui tragica morte Johnny soffrirà molto, Joanne, Louise, Reba, Roy, e Tommy, anche quest'ultimo artista country di successo) di una numerosa e povera famiglia contadina, Cash aiuta da bambino i genitori nella coltivazione del cotone in un piccolo appezzamento di terreno fornito dal governo in seguito al New Deal. Cash riferirà di avere sangue indiano nelle vene, fatto mai provato. Si appassiona alla musica attraverso i canti nella chiesa e l'ascolto della musica country alla radio. Nel 1950 si arruola in aviazione e conosce Vivian Liberto, all'epoca studentessa liceale. Compie una parte del servizio militare in Germania dove acquista una chitarra e comincia ad imparare a suonare da solo. In quel periodo terrà una fitta corrispondenza con Vivian che sposerà, dopo il congedo, il 7 agosto 1954. Il matrimonio finirà nel 1967 a causa dei problemi di dipendenza dalle droghe di Cash e del suo comportamento libertino. Ottiene il primo con
