How long has it been since you heard this Johnny Cash song?
[b]Cry Cry Cry[/b]
There is not much of a back story to this song that I can find.
In 1954, before the release of the song “Cry! Cry! Cry!”, Cash signed with Sun Records after he came home from serving with the United States Air Force.
During that time, he wrote the song “Hey, Porter” which was not catchy to the executives at his record label.
But he was told to come back with a song that Sun Records owner, Sam Phillips, would be able to sell. Cash went home and wrote the song “Cry! Cry! Cry!” overnight.
He then came back and performed it to Phillips the following day.
His first hit after he served in the United States Air Force.
The song is about a woman loved by a man, but the woman wants more and goes out every night in the hopes of finding a sugar daddy.
As she ages, and the bright lights dim, she is left all alone and tries to go back to the man who loves her.
He rejects her and tells her why.
When he reminds her of all she has done, she'll cry, cry, cry.
