[Verse 1: Johnny Cash]
When you wake up in the morning baby look inside your mirror
I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near
I'd be curious to know if your reflection is as clear
As the one that I've got on my mind, mama, you been on my mind

[Verse 2]
Well perhaps it's the wind and the dark dark night that's covering
The crossroads that I'm at
And maybe it's the weather or something like that
But mama, you been on my mind, mama, you been on my mind

[Verse 3]
Well I don't need trouble, please don't put me down
Don't get upset, I am not pleading, I won't say I'll forget
And I won't pace a floor bowed down and bent but yet
Mama, you been on my mind, mama, you been on my mind

[Verse 4]
Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts are kinda narrow
Where you been don't bother me or bring me down with sorrow
It don't matter to me where you'll be waking up tomorrow
But mama you been on my mind mama you been on my mind

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.
