Time to learn the lyrics…

These are the lyrics to “Starkville City Jail” in the handwriting of Rosanne Cash, transcribed early in the day at the Hotel Chester on Main Street in Starkville. Even with this visual aid, she missed a couple of lines while performing her father’s song at the climax of 2008’s Johnny Cash Flower Pickin’ Festival, but she sure had the spirit of the song down!
Well, it is almost time to sing the song once again, so take the time to learn the words. It just might help keep you from getting thrown into the “Starkville City Jail.”
