Ring Of Fire June Carter Johnny Cash Cover w/ Harmonica

(c)1963 This was written by June Carter and Merle Kilgore. Kilgore wrote several other Country hits, acted in a few movies, and became a manager for artists like Hank Williams. Kilgore was best man when Carter married Cash.
June Carter wrote the lyrics about her relationship with Johnny Cash. She felt being around Cash was like being in a "ring of fire." Cash was involved in drugs and had a very volatile lifestyle. When she wrote this, both June and Johnny were married, but they became singing partners and close friends. By 1967, Cash and Carter were single again and they got married in 1968. Johnny claimed that June saved his life by helping him get off drugs. June died in 2003 after 35 years of marriage to Johnny.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love is a burning thing and it makes a firery ring
Bound by wild desire I fell in to a ring of fire...

#I fell in to a burning 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 #
