Question: Who wrote the song recorded by Johnny Cash?

Context paragraphs:
Hymns by Johnny Cash: Hymns by Johnny Cash was the fifth album and first gospel album of Johnny Cash.  The album was produced in 1958 and was then officially released in 1959.  An alternate version of the song "It was Jesus" was an added bonus track after the album was re-issued in 2002.  Cash said he left Sun Records because Sam Phillips wouldn't let him record the gospel songs he'd grown up with.  Columbia promised him to release an occasional gospel album; this was a success for him to record.  The album was Cash’s first and most popular gospel album, and is an example of traditional hymns set to country gospel music.  The album was recorded simultaneously with "The Fabulous Johnny Cash".

The Johnny Cash Children's Album: The Johnny Cash Children's Album is the 49th album by country singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1975 featuring recordings made between January 1972 and October 1973.  As the title implies, it contains songs written for children.  Among others, this includes "Tiger Whitehead", a song later released in an acoustic version on Cash's posthumous "Personal File" album in 2006.  Most of the songs on the album had not been performed by Cash before.  "Old Shep" had been performed by Elvis Presley, among others.  One track recorded in 1972 was previously released on LP: "I Got a Boy (And His Name is John)" was first made available on the 1972 album "International Superstar".  It is a tongue-in-cheek duet between Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash, about their son, John Carter Cash.

Jude Johnstone: Jude Johnstone is an American singer-songwriter.  Her songs have been covered by Laura Branigan, Trisha Yearwood, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Bette Midler, Johnny Cash, Stevie Nicks, Mary Black and others.  Johnstone wrote the #1 song "The Woman Before Me" on Yearwood's debut CD, which also won an award from Broadcast Music Incorporated.  In 1997, Johnny Cash won the Country Album of the Year Grammy for American II Unchained (Johnny Cash album) for which Johnstone wrote the title track.  BoJak Records was created by her manager Bob Burton in 2002 to release her debut CD "Coming of Age" followed by the 2005 release of "On a Good Day," and in 2007 "Blue Light," 2008 "mr.sun," 2011 "Quiet Girl", 2013 "Shatter," and in 2016, "A Woman's Work."  She lives in Nashville, Tennessee.

Forty Shades of Green: "Forty Shades of Green" is a song about Ireland, written and first performed by American country singer Johnny Cash.  Cash wrote the song in 1959 while on a trip to Ireland; it was first released as a B-side of the song "The Rebel–Johnny Yuma" in 1961.  It is also included in two of Cash's albums: "Ring of Fire: The Best of Johnny Cash", released on Columbia Records in 1963, and "Johnny Cash: The Great Lost Performance – Live at the Paramount Theatre, Asbury Park, New Jersey", recorded live in 1990 and released in 2007.

Wildwood Flower (album): Wildwood Flower is the last solo album from June Carter Cash.  It was released in 2003 on the Dualtone record label, four months after her death and only a few days before the death of Johnny Cash, who provides backing vocals, making this the final release of his lifetime.  It was produced by their son, John Carter Cash.  The album's opening track, "Keep on the Sunny Side" was a Carter Family anthem that June Carter Cash had previously recorded twice with Johnny Cash: for the 1964 Carter Family album of the same title, and for the 1974 Johnny Cash album "The Junkie and the Juicehead Minus Me".  "The Road to Kaintuck", written by June, had previously been recorded by her husband on several occasions for Columbia Records.  The medley of "Church in the Wildwood"/"Lonesome Valley" had been a regular part of Johnny Cash concerts in the 1970s.

Blue Christmas (song): "Blue Christmas" is a Christmas song written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson and most famously performed by Elvis Presley.  It is a tale of unrequited love during the holidays and is a longstanding staple of Christmas music, especially in the country genre.

Kenneth Jones (songwriter): Kenneth Jones (1952–1969), was the son of Helen Myrl Carter (of country music's Carter Family) and of Glenn Jones.  He is best remembered for a song he wrote called "Sing A Traveling Song" which appeared on Johnny Cash's albums "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash" and "Johnny Cash at Madison Square Garden".  Kenneth was Cash's nephew-in-law.  Cash's second wife, June Carter Cash, was Helen's sister.  Kenneth, or Kenny as he was also known, wrote many songs and was a talented musician.  At the time of his death he was under contract with Monument Records and appeared destined for a highly successful career.  Following his death the Carter Family recorded one of his songs, "2001 Ballad to the Future".  A few have noted the lyrics as being eerily prophetic of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States which took place more than thirty years after the song was written.

The Unissued Johnny Cash: The Unissued Johnny Cash is a compilation album and 59th overall album by American country singer Johnny Cash, released on Bear Family Records in 1978 (see 1978 in music).  It is tailored to completist fans of Cash as it consists entirely of rare or unreleased material from Cash's early Columbia days.  The first four tracks, all recorded in August, 1958, are outtakes from "The Fabulous Johnny Cash", and also appear on the CD re-release of that album.  Likewise, the outtake "The Fable of Willie Brown" appears on the re-release of "Ride This Train".  The Carter Family song "I'll Be All Smiles Tonight" is an outtake from "Blood Sweat and Tears".

Johnny Cash Country Christmas: Johnny Cash Country Christmas is a Christmas album and 78th overall album by American country singer Johnny Cash, released on Delta Records in 1991 (see 1991 in music), in-between Cash's contracts with Mercury Records and American Recordings.  It came out in two different Versions with different cover art.  It contains 15 or 13 songs, all Christmas classics and traditional holiday songs.  A number of songs (such as "Blue Christmas", "Silent Night" and "Joy to the World") had previously been recorded by Cash - multiple times, in the case of "Silent Night" - for previous Christmas albums.  It was also released on the LaserLight label in 1992.  The 15-track version includes two additional Christmas songs, "White Christmas" and "I'll Be Home for Christmas".  Four tracks do not feature Cash but instead feature vocals by his wife, June Carter Cash and the Carter Family.  This was the last Johnny Cash release within his lifetime to feature the Carters, who had been a staple of his live show and studio recordings since the early 1960s, as the sisters would not participate in his subsequent work for American Recordings; nor would June Carter Cash, though a 2000 private release, "Return to the Promised Land", would feature her alongside her husband.

Hello, I'm Johnny Cash: Hello, I'm Johnny Cash is the 33rd album by American country singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1970 (see 1970 in music).  "If I Were a Carpenter", a famous duet with Cash's wife, June Carter Cash, earned the couple a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1971 (see Grammy Awards of 1971); the song also reached No. 2 on the Country charts.  This album also includes "To Beat the Devil", the first Kris Kristofferson song covered by Cash; the two would later collaborate numerous times, most famously on "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down".  "See Ruby Fall" and "Blistered" were also released as singles, and the album itself reached No. 1 on the country charts and No. 6 on the pop charts.  It was certified Gold on 1/29/1970 by the R.I.A.A.  The album has been released on CD (Sony Music, Original Album Classics, along with "The Johnny Cash Show" and "Man In Black") and it has been made available on official download sites.  This album is not to be confused with a best-of cd that has the same name.
