Cash, Johnny - New Mexico Lyrics
It was in the town of Griffin, the year was eighty three
It was there an old cow puncher, stepped up and said to me
How do you do young fellow and how would you like to go
And spend a pleasant summer, out in New Mexico
If you will but go with me, one summer season through
But if you should get homesick and back to Griffin go
Then I'll furnish you no horses from the hills of Mexico
We left the town of Griffin in the merry month of May
When all the world was lovely and everything was gay
With saddles on our horses, marching over we did go
Until we reached the logging out in New Mexico
It was there our pleasures ended and our troubles they began
Through all the thorns and thistles, us cowboys had to go
While the Indians watched upon us, out in New Mexico
Well, when the drive was over, the riders would not pay
To all you happy people, this much I have to say
Go back to your friends and loved ones, tell others not to go
To the God forsaken country, they call New Mexico

I wonder where that photo is from. Did JC appear in a Western at some point?
I love that tune
Occupied New Mexico will rise against the filthy yankee... Now I understand I'm not American. Taos 1847!!!!

Infowarslove fuck you
Lane Helton and the scooter he rode in on. Don't come back.
Infowarslove fuck off
FUCK YOU
This song dates back to 1873, originally titled "The Trail of The Buffalo". Since then it's been covered by Dylan, Guthrie, Seeger and many more including Cash. My favorite version is by G.E. Smith.
I was aware of Johnny Horton's version, but I did not realise that Cash also had done this song; this is great.
One of my favorite unknown songs. God bless America and Johnny Cash too.
We will listen to this on our journey to Mars. It will be a fact Mack.
Pure boom-chicka-boom sound and western ballad mix...Johnny Cash could sing everything and make it his own...I miss him so
Stefano Santangelo h

I love to play this for my dog his name is Griffin
JAWSOME!!
Love this song. Real nice.
