Cry, Cry, Cry

Warsaw, Poland

Johnny Cash - Cry, Cry, Cry - released as a single in June 1955 and one of the two first songs recorded by Cash.

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 met with little excitement from the executives at his record label. He was then 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 and came back and performed it to Phillips the following day. The song was then coupled with "Hey Porter" and released as the B-side of the record.
The early success of the song led to a featured spot on the Louisiana Hayride Tour and kicked off the career of Johnny Cash in the process.
The song sold over 100,000 copies alone in the southern states. Cash then began to tour with Elvis Presley soon after its release.

Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down.
I think you only live to see the lights of town.
I wasted my time when I would try, try, try.
When the lights have lost their glow, you're gonna cry, cry, cry.
