* Note: While Johnny Cash did indeed sing the song on his 1994
album American Recordings, it was actually written by Glen Danzig,
who allegedly wrote it specifically for Mr. Cash.
Danzig's own version is on the 1999 album "6:66 Satan's Child"
and can be heard in the opening credits of the 2009 movie "The
Hangover".

(Direct quote from Johnny Cash telling the story in a March 1981
interview)
He proposed in London, Ontario, in late 1967. He related the
story:
"We had just sung a song called 'Jackson' and I stopped the show
and said 'Will you marry me?' on microphone, and she said 'Go on,
sing another, sing another', I said 'I'm not gonna sing until you
answer me, will you marry me?' and she says 'Sing a song John, sing
a song' she turned her back, you know, trying to get somebody in
the band to play some music or something, it kept going until she
finally said...'yes'."
