Pozadí a autorství písně
Autorství písně není zcela jednoznačné. Za autorku bývá považována Cashova pozdější druhá žena June, která ji měla napsat spolu s Merlem Kilgorem. Píseň pak roku 1962 nahrála Anita Carterová, sestra June. V noci, poté co skladbu slyšel Johnny Cash, měl prý sen, ve kterém slyšel tuto píseň za doprovodu mexických rohů. Anitě vzkázal: „Dávám ti pět nebo šest měsíců, pokud do té doby neuděláš z písně hit, nahraji ji tak, jak ji cítím já.“ Nahrál ji v březnu roku 1963 a záhy se stala mezinárodním hitem.[2]
Okolnosti vzniku písně ale zpochybnila Cashova tehdejší žena Vivian když ve své vzpomínkové knize I Walked the Line: My Life with Johnny (česky I Walked the Line: Můj život s Johnnym) napsala: „Do dneška mě přivádí do úžasu pečlivě připravený příběh, který June o psaní té písně pro Johnnyho na potkání vykládala. Ona ji nesložila o nic víc než já. Je to směšné. Pravda je, že tu písničku Johnny napsal pod vlivem prášků a alkoholu o jisté privátní části ženského těla.“[3][4]
