In defence of Johnny Cash in that plagiarism thread. He did confess on his San Quentin album that he stole songs. "give me that black book with all the songs I stole in it".

A couple of weeks ago, or more I was driving along singing 'The Goodnight Loving Trail' by Utah Philips and I saw this woman walking along the street.

Her appearance inspired me to write this song...

She was dressed in the Sixties as she strde along
her hair freshly colored in copper and bronze
beads and sandals and a faded sarong
and I didn't catch the song she was humming

Some differnt drummer was marking her tune
this woman of the sun, this child of the moon
just a glimpse of her face, she was gone so soon
and I didn't catch the song she was humming
