Forty Shades of Green -Johnny Cash

Hello my friends and happy St. Patrick’s Day. Johnny Cash had a special fondness for Ireland and that occasionally showed up in his song writing. One of the best examples of this was his classic Forty Shades of Green. He began writing this song in 1959 after a lovely trip to Ireland. It was released in 1961 as a B side to The Rebel Johnny Yuma. So enjoy this classic song perfectly appropriate for today.
