"J.R., come on." "Let's go." "No." "I wanna understand." "I mean, we come down here we play, and he tells me I don't believe in God." "You know exactly what I'm telling you." "We've already heard that song." "A hundred times." "Just like that." "Just like how you singing it." " Well, you didn't let us bring it home." " Bring it..." "Bring it home?" "All right, let's bring it home." "If you was hit by a truck, and you was lying out in that gutter dying and you had time to sing one song, huh?" "One song people would remember before you're dirt one song that would let God know what you felt about your time here on Earth, one song that would sum you up you telling me that's the song you'd sing?" "That same Jimmie Davis tune we hear on the radio all day?" "About your peace within and how it's real and how you're gonna shout it?" "Or would you sing something different?" "Something real?" "Something you felt?" "I'm telling you right now, that's the kind of song people want to hear." "That's the kind of song that truly saves people." "It ain't got nothing to do with believing in God, Mr. Cash." "It has to do with believing in yourself." "Well, I got a couple songs I wrote in the Air Force." "You got anything against the Air Force?" "No." "I do." "J.R., whatever you're about to play, we ain't never heard it." "I hear the train a-comin'" "It's rollin' around the bend" "And I ain't seen the sunshine" "Since I don't know when" "I'm stuck in Folsom Prison" "And time keeps draggin' on" "But that train keeps a-rollin'" "On down to San Antone" "When I was just a baby" "My momma told me, "Son"" ""Always be a good boy Don't ever play with guns"" "But I shot a man in Reno" "Just to watch him die" "When I hear that whistle blowin'" "I hang my head and cry" "I bet there's rich folks eatin' In a fancy dining car" "They're probably drinking' coffee And smokin' big cigars" "Well, I know I had it comin'" "I know I can't be free" "But those people keep a-movin'" "And that's what tortures me" "Where you been?" "Are you drunk?" " What happened?" " He didn't like our gospel." "So I played him some songs that I wrote." "And we made a record, Viv." "I mean a real, real record." "We did it like six times." "I had to sing the song over and over again." "And I'm playing it, and you should've seen Marshall, he was so nervous." "But, I mean, we made a real record of my song." " Oh, gee." " I can't believe it." "It's still..." "Yes, sirree, you're listening to the Tennessee Farm Hour." "Now, here's a new one from our girl Patsy." "Good lyrics." "Did you write it?" "Yeah, it won a poetry prize in Stars and Stripes." "That was before..." "That was before I set it to music." "Hey, flip that over for me, will you?" "This is Bob Neal, and you're listening to the Tennessee Farm Hour brought to you by Bronson Seed and Feed." "Mr. Phillips?" "Oh, man, I broke it." "I broke it, I broke it." "John." "John." "Broke what?" " The record, man, it's smashed." "Mr. Neal, he asked me to flip it over and when I went to do it, it slipped out of my hands and it broke." "The worst part is, I think he liked it." "John, I know." "We can do it right now." " Let's get Luther and Marshall." " We don't need to record it." "Sit down." " I wanna record it." " John." "Sit down, John." "You don't have to record another one." "What you broke is the test press." "The factory sends me one of those before they do a run of a thousand." "He's yanking your chain, Mr. Phillips." "Ain't no way nobody could be that dumb." "Leave him be, Jerry Lee." "John?" "Hmm?" "When are we gonna talk about how this tour is gonna work?" "Because you're out of town three out of four weeks for the next three months." "Well..." "You wanted it." " Viv, I don't believe it." "He's playing it again." "Them folks at Sun tell me  this boy starts a four-state tour next week." "Ho-ho!" "Son of a gun!" "We got a baby sleeping." "Come on." "Vivian, you hear that?" "Hey!" "Hey, that's my song!" "Oh, the baby." "Hear Daddy in the wind?" "Cry, cry, cry" "I think she really likes it." "My name is Jerry Lee Lewis Come from Louisiana" "Gonna do a little boogie On this here piano!"

"Oh, that's stuck right on my dress." " Hey, Bill." "Hold on, Bill." "I'm coming." " I think..." "Oh, my, I think I hear June Carter's voice, ladies and gentlemen." "I'll be right there, Bill." "I'll be right there." "Reckon when, June?" "Well, Bill, I got tangled." " In what, June bug?" "Johnny Cash's guitar strap." "Don't worry, I can keep this funny for at least two minutes." "And I'll tell you what, Bill." "He's a strapping boy, that Johnny Cash." "And his guitar strap's pretty strapping too." "Here." "I love that "Cry" song, by the way." "Hey, thanks." "Ladies and gentlemen, Miss June Carter." "Bill." "Bill, I had to come and tell you." "I had to tell you." "I had to tell you." "I just can't sing tonight." "You best be getting out here." "Yeah." "Bill, I got the laryngitis." "Me too." "June, we just..." " I do." "Y'all laughing, but I do." "We all just heard you hollering up a storm backstage." "Well, I didn't have it then, Bill." "Ladies and gentlemen, Miss June Carter." "All right, June's gonna be back to sing later." "Her family's also with us tonight." "But like I was saying, these boys up next are hotter than a pistol."

"I'm trying to go there and I'm trying to spend time with you, the kids." "And write songs through this." "What do you want from me?" "I got you your dream house." "All of your things, all the pretty little things." "I got you your car." "What do you want from me?" "I want you, John." "I want you." "And I want everything that you promised me."

"We're all going to hell for the songs we sing." "People who listen to them will go to hell too." "You shut up with that." "God gave us a great big apple, see?" "And he said, "Don't touch it."" "He didn't say touch it once in a while or take a nibble when you're hungry." "He said, "Don't touch it."" "Don't think about touching it." "Don't sing about touching it." "Don't think about singing about touching it." "And what about me, Jerry Lee?" "Am I going to hell?" "No, June." "You're beautiful." "Sleepy is what I am." "She's making me fall in love with her."

"Well, that's good." "I'm glad to hear that." " You still taking those pills?" " No." "That was, you know..." "That was a rough patch there, June." "I just needed to, you know, get some time." "I'm doing better, though, now, you know?" "I got out of that apartment and got this place out in Hendersonville on a lake." "Big spread." " I heard that." " Yeah, I'm trying to get things together." " Uh-huh." "Are you alone on Thanksgiving, John?" "Yeah..." "My folks are coming down with Reba and Roseanne and I got this big bird, but I don't know when to put it in the oven or really what temperature to set it at or..." "Uh-huh." "It is beautiful." "Really lucky." "I'm really proud of you." " You see?" "It goes from right up there clear across halfway around the lake." " Yeah." "What's going on down there with that tractor?" "Uh, I got it stuck." "I was trying to pull this stump, and I come up..." "Doing something dangerous." " Yeah, but..." "That's a fine piece of equipment to leave in that mud." "Is that the way you take care of your things?" "Hey." "Thanksgiving, okay?" "Look at this." "Hey." "Hey." "Happy Thanksgiving." "Here, Carlene." " Happy Thanksgiving." "Hey, John." "Hi." " I like this place here." "Oh, thanks." "Hey, Rosie." "Happy Thanksgiving." "Thank you." " Hey." "Let's go and meet John's..." " House is beautiful." "Thanks." "Thanks for coming." " John, how you doing?" "Let me help you." " That's my mama, Carrie." " Maybelle Carter, Happy Thanksgiving." " This is my daddy, Ray." " How you doing?" " Good to meet you." " My mama, Carrie." " How do you do?" " Carrie was gonna cook for y'all but J.R., he doesn't have a pot or a pan, so..." "We're happy to share our food." "I just moved in, you know." "Thanks." " Come inside." "If you gonna get out on big water like lakes or a river you're gonna need something you can cast out pretty good." "If you haven't got one, I'm gonna tell you you need to get you a Zebco 33." "That's about the best reels you can get." "Don't tangle up much, and you can cast them about as far as you want." "There in them little farm ponds, you don't need nothing but a cane pole and a float and maybe some crickets or worms, if you can dig them up." "That's all we ever had." "The Zebco 33 is probably your best bet." "I bought June one when she was 12." " Remember that?" " That's right." "I caught a lot of fish." "You sure did." "So, what do you think, Daddy?" "About what?" "About the house." "It's a fine big house, John." " Thanks." " It's not as big as Jack Benny's." "What, you been to Jack Benny's, Ray?" "Saw it on the TV." "Carrie, I was meaning to ask you, did you teach the boys to play?" "Well, J.R. Always sang pretty, but I don't think I could take credit for it." "I'll bet you did." "I bet you learned the same way I did." "Oh, out of the hymnals, sure." "I knew you'd say that." "You know, you'd be surprised how many musicians can't read shape notes." "I can't imagine." "I know." "But my husband's uncle, E.M. Bayes, he taught me with hymnals too." "Well, how about you, John?" "You know how to read shape notes?" "John." "Mama asked you a question, John." "I'm really glad y'all could be here today." "Especially you, Daddy." "Glad he came to dinner, and Thanksgiving, and all." "Not everybody's here." "Jack's not here, is he?" "Huh?" ""Where you been?"" "That's what you said to me." "Remember?" "And I was 12 years old youse got Jack's bloody clothes and you says to me, "Where you been?"" "Well where were you?" "Where were you?" "I quit drinking a long time ago, J.R." "What about you?" "You still taking them pills?" " That'll kill you, you know." " Yeah, well, so will a car wreck." "You're sitting on a high horse, boy." "I never had talent." "I did the best I could with what I had." "Can you say that?" "Mister Big Shot?" "Mister Pill-Popping Rock Star?" " Ray." "Who are you to judge?" "You ain't got nothing." "Big empty house." "Nothing." "Children you don't see." "Nothing." "Big old expensive tractor stuck in the mud." "Nothing." "Come on." "Let's do it." "Come on." "You is a son of a bitch, ain't you?" "Come on." "Do it, do it." "Come on." "Come on." "I'm gonna sit in the middle this time." "Come on, you son of a bitch." " John?" "A fine piece of equipment, huh?" " John." "Come on." "You should go down to him." "Mama." " He's mixed up." " I am not going down there." " If I go down there..." " You already are down there, honey." "Let's do it." "Let's do it." "John." "John." "John." "John." "John." " John." " Aah!" "John." "John." " June?" "Come on." "You should have left me." "John?" "Go on ahead, J.R." "You know what that is?" "Just please get away from me." "Daddy?" "John?" "Hey, John?" "Oh, shit." "Jesus." "Hey..." "What...?" "Hey, John?" "Get your ass out of here, boy." " Hey, John." "Get out." "Take your poison with you." "Okay." "I'm leaving." "I'm leaving." "Hey." "Mom and I picked these up down the road." "They're good." "It's good to see you again." "Can I get you something else?" "Just stay." "Okay." "You're an angel." "No, I'm not." "You've been here with me." "I had a friend who needed help." "You're my friend." "But I done so many bad things." "You done a few." "That's true." "My daddy's right." "Should have been me on that saw." "Jack was so good." "He would have done so many good things." "What have I done?" "Just hurt everybody I know." "I know I've hurt you." "I'm nothing." "You're not nothing." "You are not nothing." "You're a good man." "And God has given you a second chance to make things right, John." "This is your chance, honey." "This is your chance." "Hi, how are y'all?" "Could you...?" "It's okay." "Come on." " The evidence of things not seen." "By faith, Abel offered God a better gift than his brother, Cain." "Better by faith." "Cain left God." "Cain fell from faith." "He went out from the Lord and he dwelt in the land of Nod on the east of Eden." "Amen." "Let's all rise." "What about the Tropicana?" "What's wrong with the Opry?" "He was banned after he smashed up the footlights." "Well, if he smashes lights at Folsom, they're gonna keep him there." "Look, Frank, while Johnny was out recuperating, the world changed." "Dylan's gone electric." "The Byrds are electric, the Beatles are electric." "Hell, everybody's electric." "He needs a fresh sound, and all he wants to do is cut a live album with the same old pickers at a maximum security penitentiary." "You can talk to me, you know." "I'm standing right here." "And what's with the black?" "It's depressing." "Looks like you're going to a funeral." "Maybe I am." "Your fans are church folk, Johnny." "Christians." "They don't wanna hear you singing to a bunch of murderers and rapists, trying to cheer them up." "Well, they're not Christians then." "I'm fine with you doing a live record." "Just not at a prison." "That's my compromise." "January 13th I'll be at Folsom Prison with June and the boys." "You listen to the tapes." "If you don't like them, toss them." "Mr. Cash?" "M..." "Mr. Cash?" "Mr. Cash?" "Might I suggest you refrain from playing any more tunes that remind them, the inmates, that is, that, well..." "That they're in prison." "You think they forgot?" "Perhaps you and your wife could do another spiritual." "That's not my wife, warden." "I keep asking her, and she keeps saying no." "You ever drink this water, warden?" "No." "No, I'm a Coca-Cola man." "All right." "I wanna remind you we're recording live here today so you can't say hell or shit or anything like that." "I gotta tell you, I can't tell you how many shows we've done but this is the best audience we ever had." "I wanna thank you for that." "You know, standing back there in your shop, catching my breath I come to admire you even more." "You see, I never had to do hard time like you." "Although I have, on occasion got myself busted." "Once in El Paso I had this bag of..." "Oh, you heard about that?" "You been in El Paso too?" "Well, anyways I felt tough, you know?" "Like I'd seen a thing or two, you know?" "Well, that was till a moment ago." "Because I gotta tell you, my hat's off to you now." "Because I ain't never had to drink this yellow water you got here at Folsom." "This song is for your warden." "Early one mornin' While making' the rounds" "I took a shot of cocaine And I shot my woman down" "I went right home and I went to bed" "I stuck that lovin' forty-four Beneath my head" "Got up next mornin' And I grabbed that gun" "Took a shot of cocaine and away I run" "Made a good run but I run too slow" "They overtook me Down in Juárez, Mexico" "Late in the hot joint taking' the pills" "In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill" "He said, "Willy Lee, your name is not Jack Brown"" ""You're the dirty hack that Shot your woman down"" "I was dressed in black." "When I was arrested I was dressed in black" "They put me on a train And they took me back" "Had no friend for to go my bail" "They slapped my dried-up carcass In the county jail" "The judge, he smiled As he picked up his pen" "Ninety-nine years in the Folsom pen" "Ninety-nine years underneath that ground" "I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down" "Come on, you gotta listen unto me" "Lay off that whiskey And let that cocaine be" "All right!" "In the back." "Hey, June." "June." "What's wrong, John?" "I don't know." "Bad dreams." "Memories." "Well, you need to get some rest, sweetie." "You did good tonight." " But we got another show tomorrow." " Yeah." "Hey, listen." "The thing is, I think it's time now." "You know?" "I think it's about time." " Time for what?" " For you and me to get married." "Go to sleep, John." "I don't wanna sleep." "I wanna marry you, and I'm telling you it's the time." "Well, I am telling you with 100 percent certainty that it is not the time." "It's not about time." "It's not the right time." "It's not even a quarter to the right time." "June." "How do you know when...?" "You haven't been clean even six months." "Except for a honeymoon, you have not thought about what you're asking me." "Yes, I have." "I have." "It's all I've thought about." "Well, how's it gonna work, John?" "Where we gonna live?" "What about my girls?" "What about your girls?" "What about your parents, John?" "Your daddy won't even look at me." "June, that stuff will just work itself out." "No, it doesn't work itself out." "People work it out for you, and you think it works itself out." " You're scared." " What?" "Scared of being in love." "Scared of losing control." "And you know what, June Carter?" "I think you're scared of living in my big fat shadow." " That's your problem." " Oh, really?" " Is that my problem?" " Yeah, it is." "My problem is it's 2 a.m." "My problem is I'm asleep." "I'm on a tour bus with eight stinking men." "Rule number one:" "Don't propose to a girl on a bus." "You got that?" "Rule number two:" "Don't tell her it's because you had a bad dream." " June?" " What?" "Marry me." "Okay." "Well, that's..." "That's the last time I'm asking." "Well, good." "I hate reruns." "I got your extra bag." "You don't have to bother..." "Hey, June?" "June." "June?" "What, you're not talking to me?" "You are not allowed to speak to me." "After that stunt you're only allowed to speak to me on-stage." " Do you understand?" " What'd I do?" "Why don't you ask your big fat shadow?" " Come on, baby." " "Come on, baby."" "Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby." "The taste of love is sweet" "When hearts like ours meet" "I fell for you like a child" "Oh, but the fire went wild" "I fell into a burning ring offire" "I went down, down, down And the flames went higher" "And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire" "The ring of fire The ring of fire" "The ring of fire The ring of fire" "All right." "Thank you." "I don't know if y'all know who wrote that song but it's this long-legged gal standing right here, Miss June Carter." "Thanks, y'all." "Thank you very much." "So, June, you gonna stand over there all night or you wanna come over here and sing with me?" "I'll sing with you." "You sure that's what you want?" " Yeah." " All right." "Hold on." " Well, folks, what do you say?" "All right, Johnny." "You wanna hear "Jackson"?" "I thought you was gonna wax poetic a little bit longer." " Oh, no, I'm done with that, June." " Okay, good." " We got married in a fever" " We got married in a fever" " Hotter than a pepper sprout" " Hotter than a pepper sprout" " We've been talking about Jackson" " We've been talking about Jackson" "Ever since the fire went out" "I'm going to Jackson" "I'm gonna mess around" "Yeah, I'm going to Jackson" "Look out, Jackson town" "Well, go on down to Jackson" "Go ahead and wreck your health" "Go play your hand, you big-talkin' man" "Make a big fool of yourself" "You're going to Jackson" "Go comb your hair" "See if I care" "Sorry for the interruption, folks but I gotta ask June here a question before we finish this song." "What's that, John?" "Will you marry me?" "Why don't we just sing the song, John." "No, darling." "Come on, finish the song." "People wanna hear us sing." "Sorry, folks but I just can't do this song anymore unless she's gonna marry me." "It'd just be like we're lying." "You got these people all revved up, John." " Now, come on, let's sing "Jackson."" " You got me all revved up." "I've asked you 40 different ways, it's time you come up with a fresh answer." "Please sing." "I'm asking you to marry me." "I love you, June." "Now, I know I've said and done a lot of things that I hurt you." "But I promise I'll never do that again." "I only wanna take care of you." "I will not leave you like that Dutch boy with your finger in the dam." "You're my best friend." "Marry me." "All right." "Yeah?" "In case none of y'all heard, she said yes." "She finally said yes." "Grandpa, here." "Let's talk on this." " What do you want me to do with it?" " Well, you listen and you talk." "It's a tin-can telephone, and the sound goes up the string." "Hello, grand girls." "Hello, grand girls." "Can you hear us?" " Hello, Roseanne." " Hello, Carlene." " You gotta pull it tight, Daddy." "Grandpa, speak." "Talk, Grandpa." " Tell us a story." "Speak." "Grandpa." " Take it and talk to them." " They wanna talk to their grandpa." "Well, I don't got no stories." "You got all the stories." "You..." "Why don't you tell them about the flood?" "About how you made a boat out of the front door and got us all out of there." "They'll like that." "Tell us." " Go on, tell them." "Pull the string tight." "It was 1937." "There was a flood."
