Johnny Cash-Ballad of Annie Palmer - Video
PUBLISHED:  Jan 30, 2011
DESCRIPTION:
i cut out Johnny's opening narration :

One time I went down to Jamaica to a place called Rose Hall Plantation
They grow a lot of sugarcane and tomatoes and things at Rose Hall now
It used to be just a sugarcane plantation back in the days of slavery
And they tell stories about the place and about the great house at Rose Hall
That many many years ago there came from the country of Haiti
A lady named Annie Palmer who lived in that great house there
And she was the mistress of the plantation she was the boss her word was law
Well they tell a lotta tales about Annie
They say she had three husbands one at a time I guess
But they also tell tales about Annie and the slaves
There were about 5000 slaves on the plantation
And she had her favorites and she had the ones that weren't her favorites
Well down on the sea there're three tall palmtrees wavin' in the breeze
And they say that maybe Annie Palmer's three husbands
Are buried under those palmtrees
