Dear Mrs - Johnny Cash[00:00:01]

Dear Mrs though we've never met I know very much about you[00:00:04]

I know that you've got hair that shines like the morning sun[00:00:10]

You've got eyes that hold the blueness of the sky[00:00:14]

And of the deepest sea on a clear day and a smile that has a sparkle of a diamond[00:00:17]

I know that because I've heard him say those things about you[00:00:23]

These're the thoughts and the words of a man[00:00:29]

Who spent many heart breaking years behind prison walls[00:00:32]

The father of your children the man who worshipped the very ground that you walk on[00:00:34]

He had a picture of you Mrs it was old and faded and torn[00:00:42]

But you could tell at a glance that he never exaggerated in his thoughts and visions[00:00:47]

He never left his cell without first checking to see if he had your picture with him[00:00:51]

He was a young man when he first came to prison[00:00:59]

And he talked a great deal about you but as the years passed he talked less and less[00:01:02]

And during his last year here I don't believe he ever said a word to anybody[00:01:08]

He had the appearance of a man much older than he really was[00:01:14]

He walked with his head down and his shoulders saggin'[00:01:21]

And the walk itself seemed to take a great deal of effort[00:01:25]

He never received a letter or had a visitor while he was here in prison[00:01:31]

But never did he stop looking and waitin'[00:01:37]

Every day at mail call you could see him standing close to his bars[00:01:40]

With the look of a child awaiting a reward[00:01:44]

Even after the mailman had passed his cell his pleading eyes would follow beggin'[00:01:48]

As always he'd feel of his shirt pocket and then just stand there[00:01:52]

Staring at the emptiness and as always I could somehow feel the lumb in his throat[00:02:00]

And the burning in his eyes you know Mrs like just before you start to cry[00:02:07]

Well I thought you might like to know that they buried his body today[00:02:13]

Just outside the prison walls[00:02:17]

They buried him there because nobody cared enough to claim his body[00:02:19]

You know there was even a couple of old convicts there that actually cried[00:02:23]

No not because they cared for him but for what he died from they cared for[00:02:28]

Loneliness every prisoner knows loneliness but some know it more than others[00:02:33]

The man that they buried today had died many times[00:02:40]

Every day he waited hopin' and prayin' for a letter or a card[00:02:44]

Or just a note or anything to let him know that somewhere out there[00:02:48]

Somebody cared for him[00:02:52]

That assurance never came and today he died Mrs[00:02:54]

He died from loneliness starved for love a love that nobody ever wanted[00:02:59]

You see no man woman or child is immune to the need of love or to be loved[00:03:05]

No matter how terrible his crime might have been[00:03:12]

The death he died from today was more inhuman[00:03:15]

But his suffering is over now and he's resting in a pauper's grave in a prison suit[00:03:20]

And in his pocket is an old torn and faded picture of yes of you Mrs[00:03:26]
