Ring of Fire
Johnny Cash Lyrics
Love is a burnin' thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
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 burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
The ring of fire, the ring of fire

Wayfaring Stranger - The New Appalachians - Lyrics I am a poor wayfaring stranger Traveling through this world alone There will be no sickness, toil or danger In that grand land to which I roam Well I'm going home to see my mother I'm going home to a morning rose I'm only goin' over Jordan I'm only goin' over home Musical Interlude I know dark clouds will gather 'round me I know my way is rough and steep And beautiful fields lie just before me Where God's redeemed there vigils keep Well I'm going home to see my brothers I'm going home no more to roam I'm only goin' over Jordan I'm only goin' over home Musical Interlude I'm going home to see my Father I'm going home no more to roam I'm only goin' over Jordan Iβm only goinβ where no one roams I want to wear that crown of glory When I get to that good land I want to shout out salvation story In concert with that blood washed band. I'm going there to see my saviour Iβll see his face no more to roam I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home I'm only goin' over home
