Here are the lyrics to the latest Art Box Collective song, Johnny Cash Clerihews.”

Johnny Cash Clerihews
(published originally in Radiant Turnstile 1 back in 2007)

Johnny Cash
Eat your mama’s hash
Play the hand you draw
Tennessee by Arkansas

Johnny Cash
Don’t take your trash
To town, son,
Or that gun

Sam Phillips at Sun
Say you want to be #1
You got to go to hell
Get something to sell

Johnny Clash
Nudie suit balderdash
I’ma hit the road Jack
Be the Man in Black

June Carter Cash
Married Johnny Crash
They walked the ring of fire
The songs require

Johnny Crush
Poppin’ that rush
Hash be willin’
Bobby Dylan

Johnny Smash
Hit-single fever rash
Play Folsom Prison Blues
Skip the Boy Named Sue

Johnny Cash
Splish splash
Big bopper
Show stopper

Johnny and June
Singing a Jesus tune
At Evangel Temple
They keep it simple

Boom chicka boom
Rheum to tomb
Ash to ash
Johnny Cash
