Johnny Cash - Red Velvet Lyrics
Four months ago in April a day-coach she came down
And the dusty autumn winds began to blow
Should have known I couldn't hold her livin' out so far from town
And the nights to come are long and slow to go
You can't keep red velvet on a bordered farm like this
Well now she's up and left me she went a walkin' down the line
And the dusty autumn winds began to blow
All dressed up in red velvet and her high-heel shoes so fine
And the nights to come are long and slow to go
Well I sit and count December stars while they dance around
And the dusty autumn winds began to blow
Then I'll call my dog and I'll take the truck and I'll ride on into town
And the nights to come are long and slow to go
If I had known before we kissed
You can't keep red velvet on a bordered farm like this
Well now she's up and left me she went a walkin' down the line
And the dusty autumn winds began to blow
All dressed up in red velvet and her high-heel shoes so fine
And the nights to come are long and slow to go

Johnny Cash Red Velvet Comments
Sent a video response with a Lightfoot version of this song!
Your'e right about Johnny not writing it, but the funny thing is that he actually loved the song, he thought it was "what he had been looking for" and that it would be one of his career defining songs, but it turned out nobody else liked it
he did not hate this song he loved it while everyone else hated it he actually thought ''this is it this is the song this is the one'' he thought it was going to be a hit but he was wrong
Cash loved the record. In an interview with Larry King, Larry asked him what song he thought was gonna be a massive hit but ended up the opposite, and he said Red Velvet. He felt everyone would love it like he did but nobody did. But yes Ian Tyson wrote it. If you wanna see the interview its on youtube just paste this in the search bar: Larry King Live with Johnny Cash (2002) part 6 (the red velvet part comes in at 1:50)
he didnt hate it, on Larry King live he said he thought it was gonna be a hugh success on the bill board, but i didnt to his suprise
@lucash1980 Your right, I was just watching that.
@lucash1980 Well siad my friend, well said!
I was going to say exactly what the top comment said ^^
@lucash1980 haha funny enough.... thats where i got most of my info about both songs.... in that interview lol
@50sJohnny
yea i agree...... although im a huge Cash fanatic and im only 17 years of age and i like lots of genres of music, just some of The Legends songs are like not good at all. i respect the mans music and everything he stood for but....... WTF was he thinkin this song be a hit? it makes me laugh. lol
@MrPach19 He didn't hate it, he liked it and believed that it would a be a hit, but others did not feel the same way so he had to leave it and move on to other things.
@MrPach19
lol aw poor jc,howd he get stuck with that one? some of the ones he did..i was like wth? lol
@50sJohnny
ahaha i dont like the sound. the lyrics are fine just the rhythm and sound needs to go lol
@MrPach19

@50sJohnny sorry but cash did not write this song. Ian Tyson wrote it. And i think Cash hated it.
