The Cremation of Sam McGee



















After hearing this poem by Johnny Cash, thoughts
of any other post fled. It was for just this sort of thing
that I loved Cash so much when I was a kid, and
why I still do.

You can hear Cash's recording of the poem at:
The Cremation of Sam McGee

Close your eyes. Feel the heat of the camp fire.

And pass me a marshmallow.
