Johnny Cash – Ring of Fire

About The Song

– Merle Kilgore, who co-wrote this song with June Carter, was best man when Carter married Johnny Cash.

– June Carter was inspired to write these lyrics by her relationship with Johnny Cash, because for her to be with him was like being in a “ring of fire”. Johnny claimed that June saved his life by helping him get off drugs.
– This track was originally recorded by June Carter’s sister, Anita, as “Love’s Fiery Ring”. Johnny Cash held back on his single to give her version a chance to chart.

– Cash’s version became one of the biggest hits of his career, staying at No. 1 on the country chart for seven weeks. It was certified gold by the RIAA on January 21, 2010, and has sold over 1.2 million digital downloads.

Lyric

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire

I fell into 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

I fell into 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

I fell into 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

I fell into 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

And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
The ring of fire, the ring of fire…
