about

The Royal Artillery's new single has arrived!

'Johnny Cash Invents the Blues' is a return to the bands blues roots, a thumping 12-bar mash-up of two different Cash songs

lyrics

I see that train a-coming,
It's coming round the bend,
I ain't had a girlfriend since,
I can't remember when,
Cause I'm stuck down here in Folsom,
And time keeps dragging on,
That train keeps a-rolling,
Down on to San Antoine.

When I was a young boy,
My mother told me son,
You be a good lad,
Don't you ever play with guns,
But I shot a man in Reno,
Just to watch him die,
When I hear that whistle blowing,
I hang my head and cry, oh so many tears.

Early one of these mornings,
I made the rounds,
I took a shot of cocaine,
And I shot my girlfriend down,
I ran straight home,
Then I jumped in bed,
I stuck that loving .44,
Beneath my weary head.
