[Verse 1]
Jesus, I don't wanna die alone
Jesus, oh, Jesus, I don't wanna die alone
My love wasn't true, now all I have is you
Jesus, oh, Jesus, I don't wanna die alone

[Verse 2]
Jesus, if you hear my last breath
Don't leave me here, left to die a lonely death
I know I have sinned but Lord, I'm suffering
Jesus, oh, Jesus, if you hear my last breath

[Verse 3]
Jesus, I don't wanna die alone
Jesus, oh, Jesus, I don't wanna die alone
My love wasn't true, now all I have is you
Jesus, oh, Jesus, I don't wanna die alone

[Outro]
Jesus, Jesus, all my troubles
All my pain will leave me once again
All my troubles, all my pain
It's gonna leave me once again
All my troubles, all my pain
It's gonna leave me once again
Gonna leave me once again

Johnny Cash (26 February 1932 – 12 September 2003) was an iconic singer and songwriter who primarily operated in the genre of country music, but was an integral figure in the popularization of rock and roll. One of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, he was inducted into the country, rock and roll and gospel Music Hall of Fame.

Known for his somber and humble stage demeanor, he almost always started his concerts with a simple “Hello, I’m Johnny Cash.”

Much of his catalog focuses on the human condition, sorrow, oppression and the hope of redemption. And his catalog is huge, rivaling that of Hank Williams Sr., David Bowie and Prince. Starting in the 50s and ending just before his death in 2003, his deep baritone voice is instantly recognized by music lovers the world over.
