Well considering that Dave did the Cash special and played that song.. I'm pretty sure I answered his question correctly =P

People are hired to write songs, and they are sold. So those guys wrote it and Cash bought it. It isnt uncommon.

Cash did not write this song, but his version of it is certainly the most well remembered version, so it will always live on as a Johnny Cash tune. I'm fairly certain the two gentlemen mentioned above were the actual writers.

That's typical in Nashville and in popular music.

A&R is the term I believe for when you write a song and make a demo of it to be sold to a company for use by another artist.

even though cash didnt write it, can it still be his song? did the authors of the song even try to make it their own?

is it true this song was based on a true story?
