We'll Meet Again
Johnny Cash · Unearthed [2003]
don't know where- don't know when.
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
Keep smiling through just like you always do.
Til' the blue skies drive the grey clouds far away.
And will you please say hello to the folks that I know,
tell them that I won't be long.
And they'll be happy to know, that as you watched me go,
I was singing this song.
We'll meet again.
Don't know where- Don't know when.
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
Yeah we'll meet again,
and I don't know where and I don't know when
but I do know that we'll meet again some sunny day.
So hunny, keep on smiling through,
just like you always do.
Till' the blue skies drive the grey clouds far away.
And would you please say hello
to all the folks that I know.
And tell em I won't be long.
They'll be happy to know,
that as you watched me go,
I was singing this song.
We'll meet again,
Don't know where- Don't know when.
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
We'll Meet Again - Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash's rendition of 'We'll Meet Again' stands as a poignant testament to his mastery of the American Songbook. Originally a wartime anthem, the track was reimagined by Cash with a haunting, stripped-down arrangement that emphasized emotional vulnerability over theatrical flair. Recorded for the 2003 compilation 'Unearthed,' this version captures Cash's signature gravelly voice delivering a message of hope and enduring love amidst uncertainty. The song reflects his deep engagement with traditional ballads and his ability to infuse historical narratives with personal resonance. As a staple of his discography, the recording exemplifies his commitment to preserving the integrity of classic compositions while infusing them with his unique interpretive style.
