Johnny Cash - As Long As The Grass Shall Grow Lyrics
As long as the moon shall rise as long as the rivers flow
As long as the sun will shine as long as the grass shall grow
The Senecas are an Indian tribe of the Iroquios nation
Down on the New York Pennsylvania Line you'll find their reservation
After the US revolution cornplanter was a chief
He went down to Independence Hall and there was a treaty signed
That promised peace with the USA and Indian rights combined
George Washington gave his signature the Government gave its hand
They said that now and forever more that this was Indian land
As long as the moon shall rise...
On the Seneca reservation there is much sadness now
Washington's treaty has been broken and there is no hope no how
Across the Allegheny River they're throwing up a dam
It will flood the Indian country a proud day for Uncle Sam
It has broke the ancient treaty with a politician's grin
The earth is mother to the the Senecas they're trampling sacred ground
Change the mint green earth to black mud flats as honor hobbles down
As long as the moon shall rise...
The Iroquios Indians used to rule from Canada way south
But no one fears the Indians now and smiles the liar's mouth
The Senecas hired an expert to figure another site
But the great good army engineers said that he had no right
Although he showed them another plan and showed them another way
They laughed in his face and said no deal Kinuza dam is here to stay
Congress turned the Indians down brushed off the Indians plea
So the Senecas have renamed the dam they call it Lake Perfidy
As long as the moon shall rise...
Washington Adams and Kennedy now hear their pledges ring
The treaties are safe we'll keep our word but what is that gurgling
It's the back water from Perfidy Lake it's rising all the time
Over the homes and over the fields and over the promises fine
No boats will sail on Lake Perfidy in winter it will fill
In summer it will be a swamp and all the fish will kill
But the Government of the USA has corrected George's vow
The father of our country must be wrong what's an Indian anyhow
As long as the moon shall rise (look up) as long as the rivers flow (are you thirsty)
As long as the sun will shine (my brother are you warm) as long as the grass shall grow

Johnny Cash As Long As The Grass Shall Grow Comments
ВПОДОБАЙКА !!!
Most of us will never have a love like this. Their eyes and hearts shined for one another till the end..
For me Johnny is stlll nº 1, the best
God rest them
This made me cry. They look like my parents. Same age. Same era.
Cash was so unfaithful to June throughout their marriage, so people who think it was just this bubble of innocent loving joy probably have a long habit of kidding themselves. June suffered, and suffered, and suffered, and became addicted herself...nobody knows what she must have suffered dealing with Cash’s hugely tortured soul. It was June who kept them together, she’s the only one who could say why, but I’m not sure if anyone ever asked her.
Vida difícil.
That is love...
We vowed to be together through the bad & the good .. They are now together in eternal life ...Amen ❤
Not just hippies love to lie beneath the tree, all lovers do. Sit a spell, and let the lord bless your love beneath the trees, and upon the fields. Let your love live, forever.
I have known about John for many years and the movie made of them was great. However, I never really knew the carter family and I now listen to the blue grass hillbilly tones that they made. It is very addictive. I just love them now. This is a very good tribute to John and June.
Lovely, one of the best love stories❤️
A good, smart, kind women that stands on her own feet a d faces the world bravely wants same in a man. Change yourself and then look forward to someone you will attract that is healthy. Dysfunction attracts same.
Oh maaaan....
Das schönste...
Mehr kann man an Liebe nicht in Worte fassen.
I know that they loved each other but I can't understand how he could stoop so lo as to have an affair with her sister, especially when she was pregnant with his child.

My parents were country musicians in Nashville and I threw up a musician as well as my sisters and brothers, all 16 of us from the farm and I miss these two so much. My love goes out to Johnny and June.
True love
Still have the memory flyer parents bought when we went to his concert porter Wagner was on tour with him.
Beautiful, thank you!
When Chuck Norris met Johnny Cash and June Carter on the road, he took of his hat, bowed his head, stepped respectfully aside...And a tear fell from his eyes..
They remind me of my parents in love with each other now together forever in heaven.❤ miss you mom and Dad.
My mom and dad would have loved this video! I grew up listening to them my parents loved all things country but especially Johnny and June ... a wonderful couple who really loved each other... great video!
I love this song!. It's another chapter in their love story in song. Great pictures scrolling through as the song was playing to. So glad that was on the Unearthed Box set!. Great song!!.
K juapo yo era una bebé cuando el era ya famoso me fascina este hombre esa voz excelente johnny
This is so lovely!!
She made him walk the line
I loved Johnny and June together and she shure could make him get him behave himself
I remember the 'fire ' and they played out at each other on stage at a show when they sang ' I'm Going to Jackson' . That was a ' hoot' ! 😁
He really did die of a broken heart when June died . 💔
Always did like him🌹 n their love💕 Thanks
🥰💖💖💖Thank You!!!💖💖💖
When I had heard of her death, I knew that he wouldn't hang around this world very long without her.
Lindsay Michaels Me too. I figured 6 months to a year. Sad, but it happens that way more than we realize.
They are both loved and missed!! Rip
Such a beautiful heartfelt tribute to Johnny & June. Well done.
the last of real true love thanks Johnny
👍👍👍
There’s was a love like no other. Such a beautiful couple and such a beautiful song!
June saved Johnnys Life with her love. ..i wish i could find such a women too
I'm saying a little prayer that the Lord will cross your path with a sweet girl. Remember, keep your eyes open, and never be afraid to take a chance. Women love a man with bold sincere courage. Don't be afraid to ask someone out, if they say no, smile and say well, thanks anyhow for the practice. Some day you'll ask the right one, and you'll both know it. Trust God always. God bless you. ♥️🙏
@Sweettina2 #WWG1WGA 🇺🇸 God bless u too
We all wanna be saved ! Why ? Can't you save yourself?
You just haven't looked in the right place yet, keep looking and you'll find her. I know what it's like to be lonely tho, my husband was 37 and I was 36 when we got married, he was 61 when he passed away in 2013, I thought for sure that I would die too but I'm still here 6 years later.
Amen to that.
Never heard this one before. Thanks for sharing!
yes,as long as the grass shall grow,your songs will stay with us....thanks JOHNNY and JUNE...
Wonderful lovesong for the Love of your life.
R. I. P June and Johnny
WELL DONE..GREAT PIC`S......MAY YOU BOTH R.I.P.
Thanks for the kind words, CountryBoy Williams.
Dis Mutha hubba was a serious heroin addict

bravo johnny
Such wonderful song. Never heard before.
Love this song
This is US. I love you sweet music man forever and always.
beautiful couple RIP Johnny & June , will forever listen to your music 3-27-19
Forever a fan
I met you in the shadows and your face was all aglow
I remember it so well, though it was many years ago
We both knew something happened without a lot to say
But we had other lives and so we went our separate ways
But our hearts communicated and every time we passed
We were gradually building something that would forever last
My heart was calling for you when one night you came along
We danced around each other but then we sang our song
Our harmony was shaky, and the pitch not very true
But then, you gave in to me and I gave in to you
We had to fight the world and we fought with all we had
We vowed to be together through the sweet times and the bad
I hear you whisper every night: "May I have this dance?"
And though I'm not light on my feet I always take the chance
We've gone through many storms and often walked through fire
But always our loving faith took us higher and higher
We know the mystery of life, it's love hard and long
(I love you)
I love you and I always will. As long...
As long
(As long)
As the moon
(As the moon)
Shall rise
(As the moon shall rise)
As long
(As long)
As the rivers
(As the rivers)
Flow
(As the rivers flow)
As long
(As long)
As the sun
(As the sun)
Will shine
As long
As the grass
Shall grow
Beautiful song.
I would love to have love like this 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️😍❤️❤️😍❤️❤️😍❤️
