Johnny Cash’s soon-to-be-second-wife June Carter wrote “Ring of Fire” in 1963 with Merle Kilgore to express the experience of falling in love with the Man in Black. Cash would continue to walk the line with his first wife, Vivian Liberto, until 1966. June Carter finally became June Carter Cash in...
Love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring
Bringing hurt to the heart's desire I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into into the burning ring of fire
I fell down down down down into the deepest mire
And it burns burns burns burns the ring of fire the ring of fire
The ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet when two very hearts meet
I believed you like a child oh but the fire went wild
I fell into into the burning ring of fire
(Love’s) Ring of Fire was written by Merle Kilgore & June Carter Cash.
