It was originally released in September 1959 (see 1959 in music), and later re-issued on August 27, 2002 (see 2002 in music) with two bonus tracks. A majority of the songs involve dying. Death concludes "The Man on the Hill", "Hank and Joe and Me", "Clementine" and "My Grandfather's Clock." "Don't Step on Mother's Roses" is about a family losing their parents to death; first Mother, then Daddy. "The Great Speckled Bird" is a spiritual about the Second Coming of Jesus. "The Caretaker" is the story of a cemetery caretaker wondering who will mourn for him when his time comes. Even "Five Feet High and Rising" ("the hives are gone; I lost my bees") and "Old Apache Squaw" ("...the next white man that sees my face is gonna be a dead white man") mention death in some way. "I Want to Go Home" is a retitled version of the nautical standard "The John B. Sails". By his own admission, Cash was becoming fascinated by death during this time, in part due to his growing amphetamine and barbiturate dependence.[2] Track listing{{tracklist| total_length = 25:40 | title1 = Drink To Me | writer1 = Johnny Cash | length1 = 1:54 | title2 = Five Feet High and Rising | writer2 = Cash | length2 = 1:46 | title3 = The Man on the Hill | writer3 = Cash | length3 = 2:09 | title4 = Hank and Joe and Me | writer4 = Cash | length4 = 2:13 | title5 = Clementine | writer5 = Billy Mize, Buddy Mize | length5 = 2:30 | title6 = Great Speckled Bird | writer6 = Traditional | length6 = 2:09 | title7 = I Want to Go Home | writer7 = Traditional | length7 = 1:58 | title8 = The Caretaker | writer8 = Cash | length8 = 2:06 | title9 = Old Apache Squaw | writer9 = Cash | length9 = 1:46 | title10 = Don't Step On Mother's Roses | writer10 = Cash | length10 = 2:34 | title11 = My Grandfather's Clock | writer11 = Henry Clay Work | length11 = 2:45 | title12 = It Could Be You (Instead of Him) | writer12 = Vic McAlpin | length12 = 1:50 }}{{tracklist | headline = Bonus tracks | collapsed = yes | total_length = 29:34 | title13 = I Got Stripes | writer13 = Cash, Charlie Williams | length13 = 2:05 | title14 = You Dreamer You | writer14 = Cash | length14 = 1:49 }} Personnel
