	09	Sam Hall			A brilliant, colorful first person account of a convicted murderer without remorse, "Sam Hall" is one of the most entertaining songs on ^Johnny Cash Sings Ballads Of The True West). Originally adapted by Tex Ritter, Johnny Cash adapted this ballad for his live shows in the early 60's, with great response. The gritty humor here no doubt influenced Cash's own "A Boy Named Sue" a few years later. The lyric - recitation - is filled with a dark, drunken humor of a man waiting on the gallows, cursing the crowd, police and judges. According to Cash's own liner notes, the character Hall was apparently slipped a bottle of whiskey in his jail cell the morning of his hanging, and this no doubt had a lot to due with the undeniable attitude contained here. As a parting shot from a man about to die, this song cannot be beat.			02:40

	14	Streets of Laredo			According to the author's notes on ^Johnny Cash Sings Ballads Of The True West), "The Streets Of Laredo" has British origins, and 'the original is supposed to be an account of a man who died of syphilis in a London hospital'. This is particularly interesting, due to the fact that so many artists, never mentioning a 'sexually transmitted disease' have recorded this standard. In a way, though, this first-person lament for a dead cowboy becomes more mysterious when we don't really know why 'this young cowboy has gone wrong'. Between the narrative verses (some of them published by Alan Lomax in 1910), Johnny Cash's gravelly, deep baritone his uncharted areas of depth in the chorus, 'play the fife slowly', which underlines the songs most likely Irish/Scottish origins.			03:33
