We got married on a steamer, 'fore a salt and peppper crowd [I thought htey meant: it was hot, and they must be in the South, and that they were referring to the wedding congregation as racially mixed]

The story:

When Johnny Cash died (9/03) my husband and I were washing the car while radio played some of his hits. I was happily singing away when husband questioned my lyrics and informed me of my error (I am 52 so they've been in my head a long time!).
